A-O was a navigator I hung around with in Germany. He loved this song. I really never understood why, but it was on the jukebox in the base’s hotel bar. The juke box was loaded with CDs instead of vinyl by that point in life, nineteen eighty-eight. A-O always selected this song several times through the evening. I haven’t heard it in years, but sometimes, I stream it in my head, remember A-O, and smile.

Here is Edie Brickell & New Bohemians with “What I Am.”
