Ditto from me, Azeem. Your posts are always thoughtful and thought-provoking and you have a right to express your views without fear. Who knows? You may yet change your mind. The first time I heard any of the songs I was kind of disappointed but the whole thing grew on me after a while, and this could happen with you (or maybe not.) I'm still back and forth and up and down on Travelogue. Some pieces I love, others I skip over every time; still others I like one day, don't like the next. I find the overall pace too slow in many places or for too long a period. I find myself skipping over the very popular songs. I'm afraid I'm not much of a fan of Woodstock or The Circle Game in any incarnation. I think I've just heard them both too often. I don't mind the Travelogue version of Woodstock, but I skip The Circle Game every time. I don't care much for the song, now that I'm past 20, and it just takes too long (feet dragging to slow the circles down.) I can't take this version of "For the roses" either - I think I love Joni's guitar too much on that to settle for anything else. On the other hand, Flat Tires is one I never cared for before, but I love the new version - I think it may be my favourite piece on the whole album. Same with Justice/Just Ice. It didn't do much for me before, but I like this one. If I'm in a particularly depressed mood and listen to Travelogue, I just end up crying my eyes out anyway, so listening to it a lot probably ain't a good idea. Not that it's depressing, but I do find it emotionally draining when I'm feeling weak. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
