I have to jump in here and say "Me, too." I even checked the lyrics on my
Hejira CD, expecting to see that the word was "fey." Wrong. Then I checked
the lyrics on the JM.com site. Wrong again. And I was so sure my old vinyl
"Hejira" had the word printed as "fey." If someone out there still has an
original vinyl copy of "Hejira," could you please check it? If I am wrong,
I'll have to get a bottle of those memory pills, whatever they're called.
Ginko something . . .
I'm also beginning to have the beginnings of some sort of empathy for the
"misunderestimated" George W. Bush.
