i was reading the post about "Bitter Green" & how it might be about a dog, & it reminded me of a thought i had about the song "Without You". i really believe this is GL's swan song to alcohol or "Farewell to Muscatel" if you will. no-where in the track is there any mention of "you" being a woman. & remember it was released in "83, the yr. he quit drinking.

"may olive your martinis be forever dry."

never thought of that, but now that you mentioned it, you could may well be right!

Hmmm, very interesting concept. It's not a song I'm overly familiar with, but after reading the lyrics (too lazy to dig out the record and don't have the CD yet)it could even be a workable concept.

Maybe it's about a dog.
