It may be that the person in the song is throwing away a good relationship (or in the case of the first verse, objects the person values) as easily as people throw horseshoes..Treating it as something light and not really important, not realizing the value until afterwards ("Look straight at the coming disaster/realize what you've lost").

Pepsi (was: greetings from Alberta!) Much more pronounced than the difference between Coke and Pepsi, imho, is the difference between Canadian Coke and American Coke. In the US, Coke is made with corn syrup. In Canada, they use sugar. It makes a big difference. Canadian Coke is liquid. American Coke is paste. This is why I load my trunk up with Coke every time I cross the border.

I was feeling a little disoriented at first but then figured out that the key was to watch people ON the barge and not the stage itself.

(read metro-accessible) area driving up for this show who might have room in their car for one more and room in their wallet for a bit of gas money? i'd love to take ellen's extra ticket (if someone else hasn't already) and get to see two shows in a row... e-mail me. that's all for now. i must get back to reading something with work related content now that i'm back from my long, sun-kissed weekend at the foothills of the berkshires. loren. ************************************************************************** "to be young is a crime. reality commits it each day at dawn; and so does history, which is each morning born anew. and so reality and history are banned." - --eduardo galeano ************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 16:02:38 GMT From: "d" Subject: Re: Trying to figure out the "horseshoes" metaphor... handing out horseshoes that have to be tossed. what if it is a slam on the quality of what that person has to give? the horseshoe that must be tossed could then mean the offer of affection in way of a relationship or friendship isn't worth keeping, so then toss it. if they were handing out. and that they "keep on" handing them out, means that they have a history of failed or worthless attempts at giving of themsleves for love, and the storyteller of the song knows about those in the past. d - -----Original Message----- From: drea1@my-dejanews.com Newsgroups: alt.music.moxy-fruvous To: ammf@fruvous.com Date: Monday, July 27, 1998 2:03 AM Subject: Re: Trying to figure out the "horseshoes" metaphor... > >> Could someone out there explain the "horseshoes" metaphor to me? >> I've been puzzling it over ever since Wood came out, and I haven't >> been quite able to pin down a plausable explanation. > > It may be that the person in the song is throwing away a good relationship >(or in the case of the first verse, objects the person values) as easily as >people throw horseshoes..Treating it as something light and not really >important, not realizing the value until afterwards ("Look straight at the >coming disaster/realize what you've lost").
