So many synchronicities!
I love trains, too! I especially love riding trains in Europe. They're so fast and luxurious, and you can eat, drink, and smoke on them!

Also, when growing up, I loved the sound of distant trains rolling through the night. I had a hobo uncle who traveled round the country on freight trains, as was done in the times of the depression. Before he died, he was asked, if he could live his life over would he do anything differently. Without thinking, he said, "I'd part my hair on the other side." :)

This brings me to this, which expresses the life of my uncle: http://dictator88.livejournal.com/564824.html?mode=reply

It's funny that you posted this Lovin' Spoonful song. I absolutely love them, so much so that I had a friend write 'Shiva the Destroyer' in the same script as on The Best of the Lovin' Spoonful album for a 10" split we did with The Fireworks.

And, as this is your summer song (another coincidence), here's mine: http://dictator88.livejournal.com/565019.html?mode=reply
