My reply..... This is going to sound really really odd. I don't know what you mean about Jackson Browne and Joni.which song is it please and I can read the lyrics...... I have not read any biogs about Joni...though I think I should as I feel very ignorant...I was thinking in terms of when he (JB) was with Daryl Hannah....who voted with her feet about his (alleged) actions... I have to say I have not really read into the lyrics all I should, being anchored to fave albums (Blue, Court and Spark, Turbulent indigo and Hissing) ..and liking the others.... They play all the time on my computer as "writing" music and there are only about 10 of her songs I know the entire words to. I have always loved J B music. I think there is a sensitivity there that comes out in his words, he is very aware of environmental issues and in matters of the heart he seems to hit several nails on the head. THE PRETENDER is one of the songs that gets me for all that we seek in a life partner in a world that is fickle. I know a number of truly gifted artists/musicians who are driven by darker things and have character traits that are hard to support, but none the less they are wonderfully creative and sensitive people and I guess JB falls into this. Joni too, probably... I will have to break my own rule and read a biog won't I....... I liked your P.S.>>>>> P.S. People should NEVER take songs to be reality nor two dimensional > discussion to be the end all word on truth. Thanks........ I know I take song words to be what they are at the time I hear them . Their pertinancy changes as emotions ebb and flow. Moments of deja vu always seem to bring song words to my head......... and I tend to be able to fathom the feeling from the song... It is a beautiful Saturday (Chelsea type) morning here, I am hungover (I do not drink very much as a rule) and I have apologies to make to my neighbours for having left their house, last night, in a state of anger (this is soooo not me) but the conversation got onto the war and they cannot see how none of us can claim to know anything about what this is really about, nor the truth of this messy situation... OOOOPS.... I shall just eat humble pie for a week.........On the other hand...why should I.. could it be that I am getting balshy in my advancing years? Enjoy the day and smile....... Lucy
