So I'm minding my own business in the kitchen tonight, trying to decide if I have to wall mount some shelves near ceiling level to keep our kid from constantly attempting to juggle the steak knives, when The Wife calls me out to the living room. And why is she interrupting my ruminations? To inform me that "Decoration Day" by the Drive-By Truckers is playing over the dénouement of Criminal Minds, one of the many fine network TV shows rendering jury pools useless across the country.
I'm not too worried about this heralding a Coldplay-like love affair between TV and the DBTs. Jason Isbell had the prettiest voice in the band, and he left last year. More likely somebody on the show did a Google search for song lyrics pertaining to family violence and "Day" popped up, even though its Hatfields and McCoys theme didn't quite fit the plot of the show.
None of this really gets me too worked up, honestly. I'm just trying to kill some time before I finish up the entry about last week's Vegas trip.
