Wildflower by Skylark. I have no idea how that popped into my head. I didn’t even know the name of the song or band. I had to Google it this morning by using the lines that keep looping through my brain. “let the rain fall down upon her. She’s a free and gentle flower, growing wild.” I added it to my Spotify play list! ---

Because of this: > [@Red Lobster?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/red-lobster/1001821): > > Many famous chefs have sheepishly admitted they loved eating at Red Lobster. So do I. The biscuits are delicious, and even if the seafood is sometimes frozen or basic, the fact remains it is delicious. It’s not like any other restaurant charges bargain prices for lobster tails. But after Covid, prices went up a lot. They had big losses after an all you can eat crab special years back. You think of all people, they would know how much crab people can eat.

My current earworm is whatever song I’m trying to learn on the guitar. Right now it’s “Heart Like A Wheel” by the McGarrigle Sisters. I seem to learn songs that are sung beautifully by talented singers with very high ranges (my last earworm was “Sounds of Silence”) which means I can never hope to perform them for anyone’s pleasure other than my own. ---

I have had Neil Diamond on my mind a lot for the last couple months. This is thanks to a couple of commercials featuring his music. I don’t mind since I love _Holly Holy_ and _I am, I said_. Such wonderful music. But today I came to talk about the new song by Hozier called _Too Sweet_. It’s very good and has been playing off and on in my head since I saw them on Colbert recently. I really like the song, but I need a rest! ---

I’ve been remarkably earworm free lately. But last night we watched an episode from last week of _Seth Meyers_ and he and John Hamm got riffing on _[Up on the Roof](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puM1k-S86nE)_. Thanks a lot guys. (Hamm did 3 segments on the show but the one where they do this isn’t online. In another [segment](https://youtu.be/pNFvWzGyPuA?t=113) Seth shows a pic of John next to a horse wearing the Pendleton Dude sweater, available for a mere $269, but no one commented on that. Groucho- “Why the horse was wearing a sweater I’ll never know.”) ---

I just got out of the new Ghost concert movie, and they dropped a surprise new single during the end credits, which they also released online at the same time the movie was ending on the west coast. It’s supposed to be a “lost” track from 1969 and it has a throwback psychedelic vibe, with protest-song lyrics about the fear of nuclear destruction, police states, the killing of the Kennedys, and a prayer for peace in the far-off future of 2024. I’ve probably listened to it about a dozen times in the two hours since it came out.
