Sounds about right

After getting my good news today, what could be more appropriate than to hear this little gem on the ride home: "But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me...Like a rhinestone cowboy (ba-BUM-BUM!) riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo..."

(Actually, the only vague connection I can think of between Basel and "Rhinestone Cowboy" might be the cows, but for some reason it just fit the mood. And believe me, I'm not one to get exultant--this line from "Tender Mercies" always stuck with me, much to Gretchen's consternation: "I don't trust happiness. Never did, never will.")
