As We Speak episodes

  • The First in a New Series

    Keeping expectations low, this wide ranging monologue sets the frame for the next series of conversations - this time focused on the philosophy and culture of our times. Music still plays a key in this episode, as it has in the past. Pay attention to the lyrics for clues.


    "Dime"

    Song and Lyrics by Cake

    In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel

    In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
    Is a small reminder of a simpler time
    When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
    Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
    When I'm on the ground I roll through town
    I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
    I'm a dime
    I'm fine
    And I shine I'm freshly minted
    I am determined not to be dented
    By a car or by a plane or anything not yet invented
    I'm a dime
    I'm fine
    And I shine
    In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
    As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
    There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
    There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
    I'm a dime
    I'm fine
    And I shine I'm freshly minted
    I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
    You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
    I'm a dime
    I'm fine
    And I shine
    I'm a dime
    I'm fine
    And I shine
    I'm a dime
    I'm fine
    And I shine

    Kerry Begrand-Fast. A great conversationalist, fantastic listener and general bonvivant! You're a good friend Kerry. Thanks for the adventures! Here's to laying down some tracks, and stretching out the tarmac for that lengthening approach. I hear we're gonna need more runway!
