I think Richard would go crazy on . . . STORY OF ISAAC by Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music Inc. (BMI). The door it opened slowly, my father he came in,was nine years old. And he stood so tall above me, his blue eyes they were shining and his voice was very cold. He said, "I've had a vision and you know I'm strong and holy, I must do what I've been told." So he started up the mountain, I was running, he was walking, and his axe was made of gold. Well, the trees they got much smaller, the lake a lady's mirror, we stopped to drink some wine. Then he threw the bottle over. Broke a minute later and he put his hand on mine. Thought I saw an eagle but it might have been a vulture, I never could decide. Then my father built an altar, he looked once behind his shoulder, he knew I would not hide. You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children, you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god. You who stand above them now, your hatchets blunt and bloody, you were not there before, when I lay upon a mountain and my father's hand was trembling with the beauty of the word. And if you call me brother now, forgive me if I inquire, "Just according to whose plan?" When it all comes down to dust I will kill you if I must, I will help you if I can. When it all comes down to dust I will help you if I must, I will kill you if I can. And mercy on our uniform, man of peace or man of war, the peacock spreads his fan. ____________________________________ Pat ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2001 22:08:37 EDT From: Tom926@aol.com Subject: [RS] Re: Various & Sundry Sharon: I will join you: JOAN BAEZ.

I'm sitting here reading all the lyrics to everything (since i cant listen to him i figure i might as well read them!!) and I am just sitting here with tears streaming down my face...i am so moved....all these songs i've loved for so long all of a sudden just touching something inside me. They are so beautiful...I am just completely blown away...wow...i just can't stop crying...it's bringing something artistic out in me like i want to go write a book or something...very strange....ok yeah now that everyone thinks i'm totally on crack i'll go back into my hole :) The weird one KristenGet more from the Web.

I second RonG's assignment, w/ one amendment. Don't make Drum Hat Buddha your first dave and tracy album. Far better to start with When I Go or Tanglewood Tree (as these are actually mouth-wateringly delicious, as opposed to DHB, which is merely quite tasty). << Back to talking about the usual suspects.... I don't have WIG (that makes a good acroymn) but I have the later two CDs. Note to self: buy WIG. Actually, the only thing I know for sure on WIG are the title track and "Kate and the Ghost of Lost Love" (which I heard them do a week or so ago and it's nothing short of breath taking). Note to self: Buy WIG. DHB versus TT. I was hypnotized by the song "Tanglewood Tree" and that's what, like a moth to a flame, drew me into Dave and Tracy. So, I'll join Vanessa and say buy TT first. But you can't go wrong with DHB either. Speaking of the Usual Suspects, I still maintain Richard has a Kevin Spacey essence to him.
