<<I have a question for you Bob...and anyone else...what do you think Passion Play is
about?>>
Since I'm running out of time, I'll give you the 'nickel' answer instead of the $5
one...
All of the song relates to the life of Jesus Christ and his humanity & compassion to
those who were oppressed...the confusion settles in around her use of "Exxon Blue &
radiation Rose"...given that, I think Joni is trying to say that true compassion or
spirit can grant freedom to those 'slaves' who are oppressed.
More later, maybe...it's one of my favorite songs to discuss.
