<< Did I misinterpret something? I've always thought that "the trembling in
my
bones" was caused by the allure of a stranger's touch, rather than disdain
for
a stranger's touch. >>
And my take is the same as yours, Ken...I must have been vague in my
explanation. I would contrast the touch of the stranger in "Hejira" &
"Carnival" with the brush-up in "Down To You" and say that they elicit
opposing responses from Joni.
At any length, thanks for helping to clear up the imagery!
Bob, remembering all those red marks the English teachers put on his papers!
