Fun in the Sun, version 2
As I walked home across campus and down a street with a good many student rentals today I learned 2 things - I'm old enough that jam bands are playing my music and that horseshoes are back.
One of the student bands - the one who played the student art opening last weekend - was - um - 'rendering' the Talking Heads' Crosseyed and Painless. I did enjoy it, in a melancholy way. I'm wondering if there's a causation/correlation relationship to the return of patch madras shorts?
Yesterday I saw lads playing horseshoes on the Quad, but today I saw TWO more horseshoe games going on - one on the Quad and one in a backyard on Pulteney Street.
Everything old is new again.

Oh, no, not the dreadful patch Madras shorts again! I thought they had been bid a decent farewell and thanks for all the memories.
What about not being able to step in the same river twice?
.....Hey, *I* used to wear patch madras shorts! --MCT

It's funny to think of a cover version of any Talking Heads song...I just can't get my brain around that.
I don't recall Martina Weymouth ever donning a pair of Madras short, so I believe this to be an unhappy coincidence.
