I was waiting for an art history class to start in early 1981 when I wrote the line, “The only time you’re happy is when it’s right after sex.” That was the start to “Shortwave Radio,” which I finished on a June evening a few months later, with a gin gimlet sweating greenly on the glossy red table and “The Bob Newhart Show,” muted, on the television. It came along just as the Fashion Jungle was scrambling for good originals, and stayed in the repertoire right through Howling Turbines, more than 20 years.
