Eight Things A Seattle Sports Fan Can Be Thankful For
Hey Seattle, guess what!
To celebrate the 99th birthday of Pike Place Market... [drum roll please].............. Soul Asylum is playing a free concert at noon today, outside on the cobblestones!
"Holy Shit!"
Holy shit is right people! Holy shit indeed.
Seattlest can't contain ourselves. Our excitement is simply overwhelming and -- oh! -- we just peed a little.
To show our unrivaled enthusiasm, we're heading straight down there at lunchy-time to throw fresh-caught Alaskan salmon at them. -Because that'd be so Pike Place Market.
"Hey! Stop throwing fish at us!"
"That's what we do here! It means that we like you!"
"But it hurts and it's gross!"
"Shut up and sing! Play Runaway Train!"
Oh man, we can't wait.
On an eyebrow-raising, inquiring-minds-want-to-know kind of note, Soul Asylum do have a new album out -- The Silver Lining -- and respectable record stores are stocking their shelves with it, which has Seattlest wondering, "Is it any good?"
Let us know Seattle! -Before we commence with our lunch-time assault.

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
CHORUS
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
