But He's Not Wilhelm/Chase the Clouds Away/In The Morning/News From The Duke [224-227]

Sam and Martin dig into the four tracks that only appear in The Black Rider play, trying to decide why they weren't featured on the Waits album. With some mixed feelings about the quality of the songs overall, and a little discussion about the language used by Waits and Burroughs (both in English and German), we start a conversation that will continue next week with a final summing up of both the play and the album.
