two things about Tom's Diner:
1) the original (with just Susanne Vega) is CRYING OUT for the beat DNA added - it just stops in silence for a few seconds without it and you feel its absence deeply.
2) you can use the lyrics and a newspaper deep dive to determine the exact day it was written :0

!["Tom's Diner Day": The date of the composition
An article on Suzanne Vega's official website[7][8] uses clues in the song to determine the exact date that Vega wrote it.
Vega said that she wrote the song in 1982; Brian Rose has said that it was written sometime between mid-1981 and mid-1982. The lyrics refer to a rainy morning, when she was at the diner on the corner, reading in her newspaper of "a story of an actor / who had died while he was drinking", and afterwards "turning to the horoscope / and looking for the funnies". Only two newspapers in New York City carried comic strips, or "funnies", in 1981 and 1982, and only one, the New York Post, featured a front-page story of the death of Oscar-winning actor William Holden, whose body was discovered on Monday, November 16, 1981. In a 2008 essay for The New York Times, Vega confirmed that Holden was the actor whose death she had read about and inspired the line in the song.[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2pxxhwp2j3dybqa3mvyv6mwt/bafkreigsske3kbpe525647625vk3pw36tg24sgwytazkc37mw7qhzsgpai@jpeg)

I've always loved comic sequences showing timelapses of a single location/view, so I was glad @rikworth.bsky.social wrote one into the Rome book. Was fun-strating trying to figure out some interaction across timelines too, with equivalent characters crossing paths etc. for the observant reader.
