Fastball - The Way
Music Appreciation
Released in February 1998, "The Way" by Fastball is considered on of the 100 Greatest Songs of the 1990s by VH1.
Written by Tony Scalzo, the song was inspired by a story about an elderly married couple who left their home and were later found hundreds of miles away dead.
The song begins with a radio scan through FM stations. The music video, which was directed by McG, features the band watching themselves on TV driving around in a convertible, performing with flamenco dancers, then on onstage in a 1950's setting, then watching Tony Scalzo jump off a building and landing on his back on top of a vehicle playing his bass guitar.

Cows and Humans can live together
Cows and Humans can live together. That's the moral of the story I got out of the amazingly humorous audience-driven Story To The Death.
It had been years since I have been to an improv. The last one, I remember watching a comedy improv show at the Cap Comedy Club in north Austin. However, this was a bit different in that Story To The Death is a musical.
Yes, musical. The improv troupe presents five different stories. With the help of the audience, one story survived--a story about smart cows revolting against cowpokes.
