Soul Asylum v. Baby Killer

Minneapolis native rockers Soul Asylum are playing in town tonight. Ben and the Rock are planning to obnoxiously request "Runaway Train" through the entire show. I am not going.

Instead I choose to spend my evenings with Sam Waterstone and the rest of the Law & Order gang. Tonight's episode: baby killer parents. The parents of a baby allow their child to starve to death. Both parents seem equally liable, but the prosecution chooses to go after only the mother - having the child's father testify against his wife during the trial. Controversial ey?

Come to think of it, there's a sad connection between runaway train and this dead baby episode of L&O. I'm not sure who's got the better end of the deal, me or the Hawkavillas.

a soul asylum versus a baby killer. you do pose a quandry.

but while baby killers are used to mean very bad things, i do believe that if souls exist, putting one in an asylum would in fact be the worse and therefore the winner of your cage match.
