Fredheads - help us out, do you know this one?(snip) I thought someone else would have answered this by now. The song is "Soda Machine" from Drive-in Movie. IMHO it's a beautiful song. The last verse goes (from memory, the cd's at work): I shook (?) & I kicked it, the front & the side I checked to make sure that my change was right. Well, I wasn't that thirsty, but I wasn't that smart 'cause the next thing I knew it was broken in parts. And the soda machine at Charlotte & Queen is as empty as my heart. I think it expresses a smoldering rage boiling to the surface perfectly. I love Fred. Karen Without music, life is a mistake--Friedrich Nietzsche
