What is the origin of "The Wind" Billy Bob Thornton covers on "Enjoy Every Sandwich"? It shares the title of Zevon's final album, and has a writing credit to Zevon & Calderón. But it's not actually on well, the album it shares a title with. Was it an incomplete or cut song that Thornton chose to cover? If it was meant as a title track for the album of the same name, any stories as to why it got cut?

I know Studebaker had its debut as a Jordan song on the same album and we didn't hear Warren's demo takes until Preludes, is The Wind a similar song we are just missing the demo for?

I've been bit by the Battletech bug, and got the Alpha Strike starter box, the Northwind Highlanders Command Lance and the Clan Striker Star to start with. So far I am painting factions for the Northwind Highlanders and Clan Smoke Jaguar, not too lore picky but roughly aiming for things that fit the Clan Invasion era. Here's what I am considering so far to expand, any recommendations I may be missing? I've heard combined arms play is good in Alpha Strike, but don't know where to start with tanks & planes. I also don't know where to expand my Highlanders more, I dig the aesthetic but the Inner Sphere mechs aren't as sexy as the Clan mechs in my opinion and I just don't know where to go with them.

My wishlist so far:

Urbanmech Lance: I want it for the meme.

Clan Command Star: The Dire Wolf seems okay in Alpha Strike, not as overpowered as it is in Classic; but it's got me sold on this alone and the other mechs seem nice.

Clan Heavy Star: I hear great things about the IIC mechs and I got two Warhammers for the Inner Sphere, so I like the idea of Smoke Jaguar being the evil-stronger-goatee wearing twin of familiar Inner Sphere mechs.

Anything I'm missing? Or anything that plays great in Alpha Strike I need to consider?
