The song being sung most all the time by me and my partner in Spain over the summer was Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd. Not my favorite song by them. Not my favorite band. But now I sort of love it because it reminds me of hiking around Catalunya and how I finally taught him a few more bars so he wouldn't repeat only one line incessantly, but two or three. (All in all/your just another/brick in the wall) Tonight, on the 42nd street subway station platform, ironically enough after teaching my English class, I was gratified to hear it again with a fresh new interpretation. There was a guy with a steel drum, playing along with a recorded bass and drum line to the very same Pink Floyd song. I have to say, I would never think this would be a good combination, but he was kind of jamming. He had a little jazz free form interpretation going on.
This was all while I was eyeing the young man who kept storming up and down the platform muttering at the top of his lungs that "he didn't need a C train or an E train, he needed a fucking A train and he was being held up!" The unfettered expression of rage might made have made me nervous, except that I know I have done that very thing, and expressed that same intolerable antagonism to to the New York subway many a time, so instead I just kind of felt sympathetic towards him.

tu sabes, parece que ahora algunos chicos del coro, que no recibieron dinero (solo tickets para ir al recital y longplays) quieren algo de los millones que hizo la cancion. Es uno de los mas grandes exitos de todos los tiempos, pero no quedan records de quienes fueron. Han iniciado un reclamo en Inglaterra. Parece que no quieren que los dejen alone :)
