O<\/span>kay.<\/p>\n

Unlike the guy in this song, I’ve never had any kids. And, though a few girlfriends have abandoned me pretty good (I have <\/span>been dropped by the side of the road in a strange town)… no one has ever left me with 3 crying, scared babies.<\/p>\n

Well… I did have a bunch of cats, but their mom stuck around. Of course, she was much more trouble than her kittens were. Anyhow, where was I?
\n<\/span>
\nOh yeah. I don’t know where this stuff comes from. Well… in this <\/span>case, I was starting from my own exotic spelling of a girl’s name, as part of my self-commissioned Barista Cycle Project<\/a>, the source of a handful of AYoS songs, so far.<\/p>\n

The girl whose name inspired this song could not have been less like the “JoZynn” in my song. She was a grad student in something like 17th century British literature, kind of quiet, quite sharp, with a sly and sophisticated sense of humor. As I was recasting the spelling of the name, I searched for something that would grab the essence of the trailer trash bad girlfriend\/worse mom anti-heroine of the song… I happened to have seen a tricked out Z28 Camarro, just the kind of thing my JoZynn would zoom off in with her new boyfriend…<\/p>\n\nhttp:\/\/www.archive.org\/download\/JoZynn_JoZynn\/20051208_JoZynn_JoZynnMOTUMainOuts.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
