Sara Says

The Tempe Arizona Favorite

I couldn't help but think about this last night. Not that it's the first time. And it's probably not going to be the last.

Sara Says is a Tempe staple. And I love that.

This is a song that I first heard about 8 years ago. Around 2001 or 2002, a period where there hadn't been a lot of new Pistoleros songs. It was one of those songs that I was sold on with the first listen. Not only is it the perfectly crafted 3 so or minutes of pop gold, but, let's face it, any song that directly references Tempe, AZ pretty much has me as hello.

Over the years, songs come and go out of rotation. Many of which are my absolute favorites. That's life. Which is why I love that Sara Says has always been a mainstay in this town. Everyone knows how to play it, and if you're anywhere in the vicinity of Mark Zubia on any given night, you can guarantee that you're going to hear it get played. Mark has been involved in a lot of songs of the same caliber (Back To Zero, Radio and Parts Of Yesterday to name a few), all of which you get to hear periodically, but none as regularly as Sara Says.

So often the world the way in which I see it should be and the way it actually is are two very different things. This is one of those times where it isn't, and I'm pretty damn happy about that.

Whiskey bottle, and my last cigarette...
