I'd love it if they got close enough to the Carolinas for me to see them
live. I'm not sure I like the new CD as much as the last one, but it's
still a pretty fine piece of work. It's odd to see you try to describe IF
YOU DIDN'T LAUGH YOU'D CRY without using the word "Dylan," though.....

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch,
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing
from your heart.
