And in that intellectual spirit, how about some old Kylie? Heh, heh... man, the video for this song certainly is airheaded, but kind of catchy none the less. But it makes me feel so darn old...
In my imagination There is no complication I dream about you all the time In my mind a celebration The sweetest of sensation Thinking you could be mine
In my imagination There is no hesitation We walk together hand in hand I'm dreaming You fell in love with me Like I'm in love with you But dreaming's all I do If only they'd come true
[CHORUS:] I should be so lucky Lucky lucky lucky I should be so lucky in love I should be so lucky Lucky lucky lucky I should be so lucky in love
It's a crazy situation You always keep me waiting Because its only make believe And I would come a-running To give you all my loving If one day you would notice me
My heart is close to breaking And I can't go on faking The fantasy that you'll be mine I'm dreaming That you're in love with me Like I'm in love with you But dreaming's all I do If only they'd come true
[CHORUS:]
[BRIDGE:] I should be so lucky (so lucky, so lucky) I should be so lucky I, I, (I, I) I should be so lucky (so lucky, so lucky) I should be so lucky I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

Intellectual? I don't know about all that, but Kylie look good to me.
Yea, I can see it now The distant red neon shivered in the heat I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land You know where people play games with the night God, it was too hot to sleep I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from a levee All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistling From right behind me I turned around and she said "Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?" I said "I don't know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way." She said "Hang the rich."
Catch the blue train To places never been before Look for me Somewhere down the crazy river Somewhere down the crazy river Catch the blue train All the way to Kokomo You can find me Somewhere down the crazy river Somewhere down the crazy river
Take a picture of this The fields are empty, abandoned '59 Chevy Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John Yea, that's when time stood still You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X And let her read my mind She said "That Voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me."
I'm a man with a clear destination I'm a man with a broad imagination You fog the mind, you stir the soul I can't find, ... no control
Catch the blue train To places never been before Look for me Somewhere down the crazy river Somewhere down the crazy river Catch the blue train All the way to Kokomo You can find me Somewhere down the crazy river Somewhere down the crazy river
Wait, did you hear that Oh this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me She said "There's one thing you've got to learn Is not to be afraid of it." I said "No, I like it, I like it, it's good." She said "You like it now But you'll learn to love it later."
I been spellbound - falling in trances I been spellbound - falling in trances You give me shivers - chills and fever I been spellbound - somewhere down the crazy river

I wish I had a few of those "Blues" now in my painful old age, to take me to other places, other faces, and altered states of my mind. I just love Robbie Robertson and The Band. BTY, Levon Helms is still around and going strong on his own, and they do not like each other much these days.
Pennies in a stream, Falling leaves, a sycamore.. Moonlight in Vermont.
Icy finger waves, Ski trails down a mountain side Snowlight in Vermont.
Telegraph cables, that sing down the highway And travel each bend in the road, People who meet in this romantic setting Are so hypnotized by the lovely
Evening summer breeze, Warbling of a meadowlark, Moonlight in Vermont,
You and I and moonlight in Vermont.

Now when was the last time Robbie, Bobby and Van the Man sang as one into the same microphone?
And not a bad group of friends (oh no - he's going to list them all!): * Paul Butterfield * Eric Clapton * Neil Diamond * Dr John * Bob Dylan * Emmylou Harris * Ronnie Hawkins * Joni Mitchell * Van Morrison * The Staple Singers * Ringo Starr * Muddy Waters * Ronnie Wood * Neil Young
Happy Thanksgiving from The Band!

I watch the DVD of The Last Waltz as often as I can. I cannot get enough. No electical rhythms, just people playing electic instruments, with the greatest of talent ever assembled on one stage.

You got that right - it's the best filmed concert ever!
How do you like that part during Further On Up the Road when Robbie's schoolin' Clapton on the electric guitar? Clapton knows it - that's why the big, silly "I give up" grin on his face.

Besides being a great tune, "Moonlight In Vermont" has this peculiarity: the lyrics don't rhyme. And there's something else about the lyrics that I hope some of you who enjoy poetry will perceive...

What really happened is that the strap came loose from Eric Clapton's guitar, and he nearly lost the instrument, while Robbie took over to allow him time to repair the connection of the strap to his guitar. It was a moment of true comraderie.

Yeah - it's a great scene. He took over and did him one better. EC knows.
Didn't I tell you Don't you remember Said it so clearly Couldn't you hear me I wasn't pretending I said that I love you As plain as I can do Why complicate it? Why go and make it so hard? Men are so easy Laugh if you want to Once they decifer They take you for life and It's worth hanging on to They tell you they love you In ways that they can do Men are so easy Why does it need to be hard?
A boy becomes a man And in the time he learns to stand He finds a way to build a wall To hide behind if he should fall He grows to be a man And show the world that he can stand Not knowing fear Or even pain while Underneath when you look deep A boy remains Yes, men are so easy Just lift up the covers Cause that's where they hide and That's where you find them They are yours to discover You learn how to read them And show how you need them Yes, men are so easy Just love them and let them be free It's not complicated Men are so easy Like me...
- Neil Diamond
I've never heard this put down in a song before. If only women really understood men (and the other way round).
Brilliant!
