The Donald Trump Story
From 1982 and his fabulous Trap Door EP, please enjoy the great T-Bone Burnett and the obviously relevant "A Ridiculous Man."
He's got a cattle ranch in Argentina
He's got an art museum in Pasadena
He's got a bank in Switzerland
He's a ridiculous man.
From Truth Decay through Proof Through The Night (which I just listened to yesterday), T-Bone could do no (or very little) wrong. After that...we diverge. "A Ridiculous Man" is a great, great tune.
"He's got an art museum in Pasadena" refers to Norton Simon.
wiki: "Norton Winfred Simon (February 5, 1907 – June 2, 1993), was an American millionaire industrialist and philanthropist based in California. His significant art collection is housed in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California."
Trap door is the only thing by T-Bone I like. Every song is a winner. "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" in particular.
Watch out for the Trap Door!

ReplyDeleteYep he sure is.
ReplyDeleteA certain band featuring a bass player whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels was very fond of the TRAP DOOR ep. For obvious reasons.
