For some reason, the song "Dreamin' Man" from Harvest Moon popped into my head today. It contains one of my favorite Neil Young lyrics (and certainly my favorite lyric referencing a minivan):
In the meadow dust I park my Aerostar
With a loaded gun and sweet dreams of you
It's like one of those William Eggleston photos that makes you wonder, "What kind of s**t is about to go down here?"
The lines from "Dreamin' Man" then made me think of a similarly mysterious, though slightly less ominous, moment in The Clientele's "Porcelain" from The Violet Hour:
Driving through the forest in the empty afternoon
a Japanese car stalled inside a glade
Note: In looking up "Dreamin' Man" to check my memory, I noticed that the lyric is actually "meadow dusk" not "meadow dust" as I remembered it. I guess "dusk" is a little better.
