let's try this one...again...this time with highlights<g> "Lonelier Than This" (Steve Earle) It doesn't get any lonelier than this I believe my heart'll break Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake With every breath I'm tastin' your kiss And it's sweet upon my tongue Until the bitter tears fall one by one It doesn't get any lonelier than this 'Cause I'm on this road alone My heartbeat ringin' like a hollow drum I'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets And there's nothin' I can do 'Cause it's dark out here and I can't find you It doesn't get any lonelier than this It doesn't get any lonelier than this I'm as blue as blue can be Just an empty place where your love should be I'm sick and tired of walkin' around like this With my heart outside my skin Scared to death we'll never touch again It doesn't get any lonelier than this And there's no place I can go Just the dusty corners that the shadows know Maybe this is as good as it's gonna get And I'll always be this way I'll just wander this world callin' out your name It doesn't get any lonelier than this ------------- I'd say it doesn't get much better, or more desperate, than that tune...you can just feel it..and relate..and ache

Thanks for the finger crossing. I hope the people can afford to buy my house because they like it, but I have my doubts. Would you say that Springsteen's "The Rising" is a political piece? I believe that it is. I can listen to it all day. I guess I'm comfortable with art that is explicitly political or has an explicit point of view. One can accept or reject the point of view without having to guess. I am uncomfortable with artists, especially actors and show business people, taking political positions without having first earned their political credentials like Ronald Reagan, Fred Thompson, and Charlton Heston did. I'd like to enjoy Wagner, for example, without being reminded that he was probably an antisemite and that Hitler used his music to rile up the populace.
