I know most people have already commented. I've been flat out with family stuff. I haven't heard SOTU in over a year when I last saw Richard and until I watched the youtube video I forgot what a great song it really is. I've decided that Richard actually DIDN'T say that he wasn't going to put it on the new album. I know he DIDN'T say this because I believe he is a smart enough man to realize that this song is too good to sit on top of the pile of also-rans. Bush is out finally and Richard's reference to "grinnin' that grin" is the perfect image to capture our soon-to-be-former president's era for the musical history books. Too good a line, NOT to put on the permanent record. ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V9 #278 ***********************************
