  34. There are 2 that I always go back to, in times of joy and in times of pain and stress: The Beatles, The White Album; Carole King, Tapestry. I wanna throw in U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind. Jeez, I'm not sure that's the title?

    Anyhoo...today is The White Album. I am off the grid for the time being. I'll be *in* when I can. I'm jonesing bad for my word games and CDAN!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. @reese...I actually love the songs of All That You Can't Leave Behind more than Joshua Tree. I chose Joshua Tree though because it was their seminal album that not only brought worldwide acclaim and awards but was the first to show off their musical maturation and a coming into
      their own. Boy and War (and even October) were great albums in many respects but lack the lyrical and musical maturity of Joshua Tree.

      (says the U2 superfan)

      Do you have it on vinyl? Mine is still in pristine condition even tho it was played so much.

      The kitchen calls & I will be grooving & dancing to Leon & Mary singing, "Fantasy," "Satisfy You" & a little "Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly)".

      I promise to close my blinds so I don't scare the neighbors. HA!

    ReplyDelete
  107. I guess during some award presentation, a fan traveled a long distance to see Alanis. She allegedly ignored the person and was upset about the low turnout, or something of that sort. This blind was revealed I think on New Year's, but the comments that day were more interesting, if I recall correctly.
