Baby, We'll Be Fine: "I melt like a witch and scream."

First time doing this. How do I post a pic?

You need a website you can post on, so if you have a photobucket or flickr account or a blog like Rosemary then you can upload it there, then just post the link to it here!

I realize I haven't received confirmation that my guess was correct but, on faith, I'm going ahead. Also, fingers crossed that this image link works. (New to message boards)

Yes, you are correct! I had to cut and paste your link, but no worries - it took me a while to figure out posting links too. (If you click the http:// button at the top of the post screen, it should pop up with a box to enter the url, then it turns into a link for you.)
Now to figure out the pic...hmm...

Admittedly, this one's a bit oblique, but interesting I think. Once you know the answer, it might not be a "I should have figured that out" as much as "H'mm, I didn't know that, but being obsessive about every nuance of The National's lyrics, that's cool to know."
Let me know if you want clues.

I'm thinking its the 'never look her in the eyes' line of Cardinal Song, but not sure.

I think I'm like Tennessee Williams - City Middle?

Of course!
From Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!

Nice play.

Nice! As you saw, it's a picture from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and it's Paul Newman as the character Brick. So "I think I'm like Tennessee Williams" works, but I was specifically going for the line that follows: "I wait for the click."

When that character is asked why he drinks so much, he says it allows him to "hear the click in my head that makes me feel peaceful...It's like a switch, clickin' off in my head. Turns the hot light off and the cool one on and all of a sudden, there's peace."

You're up, Rosemary.

BTW, I know this is the wrong thread, but just wanted to say I saw our boys in concert last week and it was SUBLIME!
