I was sort making another bad joke (I have to not drink while posting), trying to compare a genius to Madona, but at the same time, pondering her muse and creative process. Like when she says a certain painting is never really finished. I would love for her to say what inspired certain songs. I doubt borderline took that long to write, but it is a very thoughtful song and one of my favorites.

From an artist's perspective, i was musing upon how some songs, paintings, whatever, mature and gestate in their appropriate time frame. While Man from Mars took 17 days to create, according to reports, Mitchell's "Borderline" may have taken 12 years, I don't know, you'd have to ask her. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:06:53 -0500 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: njc frank garwood- aka tejas4x4 That is very very sad news.
