CSN: Wasted On the Way

by Frank Roche on March 4, 2008

I was listening to This American Life last night on my train ride home and it made me think of this Crosby, Stills and Nash song called Wasted on the Way. The show was the Valentine’s Day episode and there was a very powerful story by Richard Bausch, in which he reads his story “Letter to the Lady of the House.” It’s about time that’s gone by. You can listen to the episode here.

I am downloading that pod cast to listen to it today as I drive mama to her doctor’s appointments.

About the song; yup, that might be added to the soundtrack of my life at one point.
