This is funny...I have a Magnetic Fields set list on my bulletin board, and my dad recently thought it was a poem...I'll have to post it later though...

that is awesome. I love the Magnetic Fields and I would love to see the set list assumed to be a poem.

Miss you when i'm gone
i'm glad - rock your body clock
like a stone angel

Beautiful running
