At Rock the Garden this weekend our own Mark Wheat hopped up on stage with Feist to perform the spoken word portion of "Century".

The monologue is originally performed by Jarvis Cocker about the nature of time, but this time Wheat said "All those long endless dark nights of the soul and I wondered would we ever see Feist again? Those nights never seemed to end. And when you're waiting for Feist to play, every second seems like a CENTURY!"

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that have a spoken monologue?
