Conversation from today’s lunch with my Pop and little brother. Or, at least how I remember it.Little Bro: At this wedding I’m playing on the Fourth of July, she wants me to play “When Will You Come Back Home,” by Ryan Adams.Me: That’s horrible.Bro: Her husband’s in the Navy.Me: Oh.Bro: When they walk down the aisle, I want to play “God Only Knows,” but dad says I can’t because of the first line.Me: Huh?Pop: “I may not always love you ….” Me: Yeah, probably not a good idea.Bro: They want me to play “Purple Haze.”Pop: Maybe you could play Dion’s version.I gotta say, “When Will You Come Back Home” and “God Only Knows,” have to be up there with DMB’s “Crash,” and The Police’s “Every Breath You Take,” as most inappropriate wedding songs ever. No?
