Yeah, at first, I thought this thread was about the band (http://www.gran-torino.com/home), then I thought it was about the car(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Torino). I forgot about the new movie.

{#Tongue}

Confusion reigns! {#Lol}

And Neko Case's new CD is called "Middle Cyclone".
The CD cover has a Mercury Cyclone on the cover. Along with Miss Case.
But her little video on the Amazon link has her talking about tornadoes.
More confusion. {#Lol}
