THE GAME’S AFOOT: Stump Katie! All right, I’m going to go old school with mine. You almost certainly know OF Harry Chapin— “Cat’s in the Cradle” and if you’re particularly savvy, “Taxi.” So I bet you know him. But I bet you don’t know how best songs—
For example, “Better Place to Be” is one of the saddest short stories I know. It’s nearly eight minutes long but completely captivating: a man tells a waitress the story of a date he thought was going well, but when he went out to grab breakfast, she left.
Sure, with different words and tone, that could be Simon & Garfunkel’s “Cecilia.” But it couldn’t be more different. The primary character— though it doesn’t seem like it initially— is the waitress/bartender, who desperately wants to connect and provide comfort.
