Museums can work. Makes you appear cultured, if only for the moment.
In particular, the Museum of Sex in NYC was a nice aphrodisiac.

I will be mildly surprised if Desert Scrub does not label this thread as a "club ad" for USAA.

USAA has really good customer service, low interest, and if you have them for everything (banking, credit, insurance) makes things really easy. Plus, they know their audience and are not go to screw over a vet.
They were really good to me on my Afghan deployment, clueing me into stuff that they did not directly benefit them, like the 10% CD.
@ MO -- I suppose so, I used to have to brief my unit NOT to use their government issued credit cards at strip clubs.

and Dylan's "It's not Dark yet, but its getting there." Looking back at a life of regret.

So many really great sad songs, many about relationships that either never were or went wrong.
My honorable mentions:
The River, the quintessential Springsteen New Jersey Dirge, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. The Harmonica, piano, and outgo are especially painful.
What a Fool Believes, The Doobie Brothers (Michael McDonald) - an imagined relationship
Most anything by Emmy Lou Harris, the woman could evoke tears with Happy Birthday
Angel by Sarah Maclachlan, I always thought she was underrated in a lot of ways
The aforementioned Keep Me in Your Heat by Warren Zevon, particularly give his circumstances at the time (terminally ill)
The Who's The Song is Over -- Townsend's guitar
My top 3, OK 4
1. Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin Every father's sea of pathos. Part of the sadness is Harry's way too early passing,
2. Everybody Hurts by REM
3. Boulder to Birmingham by Emmy Lou Harris.
4. Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. The guitar by itself is haunting.

really like the Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carls Jr./Hardees. The onion rings and BBQ sauce make the difference.

Cover better than Original
All Along the Watchtower
Jimi > Dylan
Original Better than Cover:
Hasten Down the Wind
Zevon > Ronstadt
Having said that, her album cover was absolutely killer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasten_Down_the_Wind#/media/File:Hasten_Down_the_Wind_Ronstadt.jpg
Borrowing from rattdog, if Hasten Down the Wind is not iconic enough, then I will go with for "original better than cover":
Come Together
Beatles > Aerosmith
Aerosmith really should not have gone there, tbh.

To echo ES and Y4L, the fact that you care enough to think kindly about this man (and do something about it) speaks volumes about you. Whatever you decide going forward, it it is important that you know that you made a caring reasoned decision and you should feel good about it and yourself going forward. Make sure you don't guilt yourself.

Perhaps a more realistic proclamation of our country's values . . . .
