Just came back from amsterdam. Purpose of my trip was Crosby's CPR concert since he didn't play France this tour. The show was fabulous. Highly recommended. (the consensus on Neil Young's Paris + Holland concerts was a little disappointing) While visiting the Van Gogh Museum, stumbled onto a painting with black crowes in a field, no other theme in the painting which is itself titled Black Crows. Since it's pretty obvious Joni was inspired by Van Gogh, I had a sudden hunch that this very painting could very well have been the inspiration for the song. Well I just admired it while mentally singing the song and it fit so perfectly. Maybe this has been covered by other JMDLers before and I apologize if this is the case. At any rate, don't miss the Rijk + Van Gogh museums while in Amsterdam, they are fantastic. Could anyone recommend which Prince CD to listen to as far as being the most inspired by Joni? Laurent
