I'm still trying to make up my mind on the CD as a whole, but I agree
with Gary here. I thought the first 5 or 6 songs were very strong, but
after that you get into B-side territory in places.

You may have success in life, but then just think of it -
what kind of life was it? What good was it - you've
never done the thing you wanted to do in all your life.
I always tell my students, go where your body and
soul want to go. When you have the feeling, then stay
with it, and don't let anyone throw you off.
