Time Waits

Yesterday I was taking a long slow jog when Time Waits (album version) by Adrian Belew popped up on my IPOD. Always nice to hear something from Belew anytime anywhere. Then another song came on (which now I can't seem to recall) and then Time Waits (the acoustic version) came back on again. Whoah. Now I've got 6,784 songs on my IPOD so for that particular song to come on almost back to back gained my attention.

So I thought to really listen.

Time waits 
It waits for no one
I'd like to go on
But I'm out of time.

A message from the ghost in the machine, the spirit in the chip, the IPOD creator to me?

No, Steve Jobs didn't actually send it to little old me. All the same, I most certainly did receive it.
