Tristero


Jonathan Yardley - Jonathan Yardley on ‘Sing Me Home’ - washingtonpost.com

‘Crazy,’ ‘There Stands the Glass,’ ‘Folsom Prison Blues,’ ‘King of the Road,’ ‘I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,’ ‘Lovesick Blues.’ If you love country music, those are the stations of the cross, song titles that immediately conjure up not merely the songs themselves but other songs of similar import.”

Director’s Cut

The first time as tragedy, the second as farce
The character was isolate, inchoate, ignited
Yes, and crushed, I know, so trite
Room for only one casualty
Only the girl, I’m so glad you understand
