Great piece! It's funny, I am editing an upcoming Pops on Hops episode on an album called (and by) Crash Kings, and we discussed the use of these cards by Brian Eno as a songwriting prompt. So, to read an essay that includes references to both Brian Eno and the deck of cards made me take pause... or, dare I say, slow down.

I see what you did there.

Speaking of cards, do you either of you know how to play euchre? I am guessing not.

It is a card game with roots in the midwest. Sometimes folks in Florida learn it from the snowbirds. I was just curious.

The deck is limited to 9s through aces, and it's best played while intoxicated and listening to rock and roll at high volumes.
