I Saw the Light

Some pachinko parlors, not content to limit their garish gaudiness to their own premises, use super-duper searchlights swiveling about the night sky to draw attention to themselves and lure customers.

Happy what-would-have-been birthday number 85, Hank Williams.

Hank's gospel song I Saw the Light was inspired by Hank being awakened from a drunken nap on the way back home from a show one night. The rotating beacon of a local airport was visible from near his home and one of the people in the car told him "We're almost home, Hank. I saw the light."
