Greetings Char, Florian et al. Charlene, I sense your frustration that there aren't a hundred posts on this. After days of thought, it finally hit me--wouldn't we all want to be "the Painter"? Wouldn't we want to be able to express our thoughts and feelings as he does, on our own? Aren't there others of us out there that "borrow" a line or two when writing to our lady (or man too, I suppose)? (a Topic waiting to happen?) So often some lyric fits just so perfectly--why try to recreate it? "It's already been done, it's already been done..." GL and us "loonies" here just seem to think so much alike and have been through so many of the same things in life; HE just knows how to turn a thought so eloquently and cleaverly, while most of us don't. And you twentysomethings out there...you ain't seen nothing yet. Start counting now of all the times a GL song or lyric applies as you go through life and get back to us in 25 years!
And to all you lovely Ann{e)s out there--might want to check out David Gates' "First" album (1973). Real nice tune "Ann" on it, solid album too.
And finally, my daughter was named Marianne--wonder why--apologies to the Southern Mary Ann--I like 'em both. "All is well...
------------------
Is there someone sewing seams through all my hopes...
