McNamara" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2013 14:35:36 +0000 From: "Susan E. McNamara" Subject: RE: Nothing can be done I was so excited when Leslie Smith sang Nothing Can Be Done at Pazfest 2010. She is such a sultry singer and she really nailed it. I talked to her afterword and she just went on and on about how she loved that song. My favorite line ... what do I do here with this hunger ... :-) Also, I've been listening to WTRF and I suddenly had this desire to be a bass player. I just listened to Larry's bass, especially on songs like Wild things and You Dream Flat Tires ... wow ... really great!

Brilliant, and more and more relevant as I realize how quickly the clock is ticking. I read some interview where Joni said she imagined some fight when writing the song, but I think it's just as autobiographical as anything from the early years, and thus even more commendable as we tend to be more guarded as we age. Anyway, the song speaks to me and I have to say I am one of the few who really liked Klein's influence on her work. And suddenly I too am not old, I'm told, but I am not young. Thanks, Sue, for mentioning your love of the song too!
