Found the Beth Amsel CD; while listening to one of the tracks it occurred to me that there's this one almost-cliche-idea that n years from now, nobody will quite get: the pay phone song. You know what I mean -- the compressed story of "I'm standing here at this pay phone, I'm calling you, I don't have long to talk, and I'm miles and miles from home." I'm totally positive that I've heard other songs of the sort, but I can't think of them off the top of my head...

(which is not to say that's all there is to this particular example, of course.)

In other news: PE requirement accomplished. *Now* all that's between me and that much-desired piece of paper is my UAP.

Well, there's always Primitive Radio Gods' "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand." I don't even remember whether the lyrics mention anything to do with the title, but that's what I always think of when I think of pay phones.

That was my first thought too.
