I don’t know anything about John Hiat except Ron Sexsmith’s impressions that he shared with me when he  toured with him 20 years ago. Glad I tuned into him today, one line especially killed me:

“Sometimes love can be so wrong like Batman in a thong”. Genius I thought and then I read some comments underneath the track; someone else expressed kudos for  “like a fat man in a thong”. Alas that’s pretty good too but I was more impressed with my surreal mishearing.
