I was so moved that someone would expose such tender vulnerability. First song that ever made me cry? "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen. Still chokes me up.

That way I get paid for it, while they're forcing me to watch this drivel they like to think is TV. I would favor Patty Griffin into the Alternative category. Not because she "sounds like Pearl Jam" or something, but simply because Ms. Griffin's music is usually an alternative sound from the mainstream. On the "defining song" thing. Well gosh, there's so many songs to yadda yadda yadda. I don't have just one etcetera etcetera. However, one song that is incredibly defining for me, now that I sit here and think about it, would be "What you need" by INXS. Okay, I'm not sitting here standing besides myself all wrapped up in the 80s (although that wouldn't be too bad). I choose that song because.... One day I'm playing with the radio trying to find a station not on commercials, right? Then I get to this one station. They're sucking as DJs and playing kick ass music. I found it, and my older sister comes in to my room looks at where the dial is and says it's some pirate station because there is no station at that setting. So, she leaves again and I'm rocking out, cleaning my room, having tea with a few lady-fingers, picking my nose, or whatever I was doing. Then "What you need" comes on and I'm air guitaring it a bit. My sister walks into the room, laughs, and she air sax's and starts singing. Then we're just dancing, singing, taking turns air-playing every instrument, and having a good time. Then after the song she left. But times like that were few, and I have to say that I'll always remember it when that song comes on. Um, as of right now, I'd have to say "Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett kind of describes my life. I've never worn flip flops until I moved down here. Now I just keep the grill ready all the time, sit out with my Hawiian shirt on, and drink. When I'm out near the public beach I always go "look at the tourists covered with oil. Hey, that's like that Jimmy Buffett song. He's rad. Why can't we all be just like him? Why did I just say RAD???" Or maybe it's just the heat that makes me like Mr. Buffett. And almost any song by Led Zep is a defining song. When Mr. Plant wrote "In my time of dying" he actually thought he was going to die...like soon. Of course he didn't, he just got off the drugs or whatever. But the point is, when I learned that I thought, "wow. heavy." And the song became eery. That was a defining moment in my youth, I realized how meaningful songs can be. And Mr. Page, Mr. Jones, and (the best for last) Mr. Bonham all merge together so easily. They become the music. I just feel it in the conkles of my heart, maybe in sub-conkle area. But well, the audio levels have been fine so far at work here. The content still is bad excuse for journalism, but I'll be damned if it doesn't come through your television set crystal clear. So, that's about all I've got to say about food, except the kind going down my throat this patriotic weekend. Ahh the bratwurst, hamburgers, and probably seafood. (drool). The drinking goes without saying. I ran out of Tequilla, though. But they make more. now that I'm totally off topic... By the way, now that I'm thinking about it. If anyone was thinking of seeing the Blue Angels perform this year, I highly recommend it. I've been watching them practice all this spring and they've got some killer moves. Last year or the year before I wasn't really amazed. But they've added some stuff I've never seen before and the show should be quite impressive. Oh, uh....for those that don't know, The Blue Angels is a Naval flying unit that do air stunts in like F-18s or something. It's not a rock group playing at some open air concert.

Anyway, picking just one song that said 'ME' would be incredibly difficult, but i'm checking my 'Me Mix' i made in '98 and among my short list would be Paula Cole's 'Me', Jonatha Brooke's 'Crumbs', Jill Sobule's 'Underachiever', Dar Williams' 'It's a War in There', Maria McKee's 'I'm Not Listening', Katell Keineg's 'Smile', Marry Me Jane's 'Misunderstood', Eleanor McEvoy's 'Trapped Inside', Susanna Hoffs' 'Happy Place'... Okay, that list wasn't so short after all. *g* More recently, I might say Patty's 'Blue Sky' (I can bliss out on that song), or Aimee Mann's 'Momentum' (play it loud). But maybe maybe the absolute winner would be Cheryl Wheeler's 'The Days and Nights Are Long.' Then again, I might have to pick a Del Amitri song just b/c I've spent so much time listening to them, and Justin Currie's voice can make me melt. Maybe 'Be My Downfall.' Gah, great song.

Patty Griffin's music is so powerful, only when the listener actually listens. When a musician's popularity blows up to the level of havingto play in the arena setting, unfortunately, so must the performances...that's why the Jackson clan, Brittany Spears, and Dixie Chicks do so well in that setting...no one is really listening! They already know the words and want to hear themselves sing! They want something to knock their socks off visually as well as aurally. Patty's music doesn't explode in your face, it invites you in...into a deeper understanding of yourself. I know she had to have been wary going into this, obviously flattered by the offer, but conscious of how different her approach was. I hate the fact that music critics and reviewers exist...I believe everyone's tastes are so subjective. People can make up their own minds whether they like a particulr performance or not, without someone telling them they are wrong. To have one definitive review by one person has always seemed so worthless to me...play on Patty! Do what you do...the ones who have the ears to hear you will...the rest I feel sorry for...
