Message-ID: <1993May12.193254.1@gallua.gallaudet.edu> Lines: 35 Sender: news@gallux.gallaudet.edu (News manager) Organization: Gallaudet University Date: Thu, 13 May 1993 00:32:54 GMT HI..well done with the Vince lyrics..which are by Hunter, and Bralove gets a credit on the music too. some corrections, (he says) 1. agree -"its a lot less than a prison.etc".. 2. Earlier version, or mishearing, had "like the moon in Venus,you're just going thru a phase"..... never did find that a very smart line..too cute.. and now..maybe its gone ? 3. "This aint the third degree." 4. last lines..." I'd really like to spare you The mistake I made " sheds a little (different) light on it..... Would the person who thought this song was about the Dead being hit on by the Heads etc etc.....care to develope that fascinating view ? Please. Me, since it starts with lines based on Thin Man by Dylan, I always saw it as some kinda media?straight/authority figure. But the more it goes on, and developes that familiar "looking at you is Looking at me " theme that RH and JB come back to.... I'm now a little unsure who the song is addressed to. Any clues ? Have to say I'm still not tired of it, especially live, due to the power of the words and the singing, and they all play so hard on it. Coming out of space, though.......perfect.....just what we need to make that slot come alive again.. . 0
