I think it's about some one she was close to that died , but she wasn't specific. She introduced one of her new songs , "Top of the World" in NY with "This is from the point of view of a dead person." . It may be the same person . If Patty's lyrics are as personal as I think they are , she's been close to , or involved in , a lot of tragedy in her life. Her current success is testament to her strength of spirit , which shows through in her music. Good luck on your finals , something I've never experienced. Most of my "Never agains" were uttered after drinking too much.

First time I've ever seen her live. As everyone else has already said, truly truly awesome. Possibly the best concert I've ever seen. I initially thought the "round" format (everybody on stage, one song each, then around again) was a little strange, but grew to love it before the night was over. Also, the "acoustic" performances were awesome, and easily my preferred way to hear most of these artists, especially Patty.. I'd have to say the Stanford show was the one that really did it for me, but maybe thats just because it was the first of the two shows, and I had better seats :). Also the show was probably a half hour longer, with maybe one extra round. Course we didn't get Bonnie Raitt at the Stanford show. And the audience participation at Santa Rosa was *much* better (louder/on key). It was interesting to see both shows. Though Emmylou Harris seems to be able to harmonize on something without any prep, Bruce didn't play on much other than his own stuff at Stanford, but was playing on almost everything in Santa Rosa. Nanci Griffith's comment at Stanford after watching him "If I had hands like that I'd be dealing cards" was a cracker. And the political commentary about the Seattle protests evolved a little between shows. Wonder if they'll keep this up in South CA... I think Patty said the new song is actually called "Table Top" after the place that makes the mini pies (where her perhaps fictional heroine works) rather than "Makin' Pies" but I could be wrong. She did that song both nights. p.s. I'd *love* to get hold of some Patty live material but haven't any idea how to go about it. Maybe I'll just keep looking on ebay... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 00:51:04 -0500 From: "Donald Henn" Subject: Re: MM: Re:"Darkness on the Edge of Town" Sean , I went to an on-line retailer to check out "Darkness on the Edge of Town" as you suggested , & discovered that "Badlands" was on it. One of the few songs on my "A" list that I don't have. So I ordered it. I don't know if or when I'll check out the whole album , but now I have it. I did one other thing while I was there.I think "Stolen Car" is one of Patty's most impressive songs , especially the second half of it where she seems to express the despair inherent in the words. Bruce's "Stolen Car" had a sound clip available , so I played it , & it was the last few lines. As much as I respect "The Boss" I thought Patty's version was slightly better.She never fails to amaze me.
