Lisa said about our pill-seeking Wall Street guy: >(1) he had to have someone, a doctor or someone, prescribe it FIRST, it >isn't over the counter yet, and OK... the subtext I'm reading is that he's asking the druggist to give him a refill without the doctor's OK. Well, there are generally good reasons why prescriptions have a limited number of pills. I'm not saying anything against medicinal remedies -- just that they can be abused and I suspect that Mr. Wall Street wants the druggist to severaly bend some rules for him. I really don't think it is viagra...I'm just saying that the actual drug that he wants is not as important as that he's hurting and wants the druggist to do him "special favors". >>(5) Just wait, some of you young folk out there, as you get older and everything starts to go, from your head to your toes, you will grow to appreciate pills of all different colors.

In fact, I've thought of rewriting Dar's "Patry Generation" with "when he turned 34 but who's counting He realized that his mind was fading So, he bought himself some gingko and a box of choline pills...."

Davis" Subject: Re: [RS] Spring the EP and other things I realize that this kind of picking the factual details to death is the sort of thing that makes no sense (although it's very amusing the way the story becomes so Real we feel bound and determined to pin down all the details) but it's interesting that everyone assumes he is asking the druggist to refill it without a prescription. It really doesn't say anything like that. In my take on it he is just going to get his refill, as you do, but prefers to buy it at the side counter because it's still considered embarassing these days to get pills for mental health problems, and the rest is the out loud musings and explainings that you expect in a song where you get inside the protagonist's head. For anyone who has had a prescription refilled, having him say irritably "time is money" is hardly surprising, when it takes FOREVER. Doesn't have to mean anything as sinister as illegal dispensing. Besides, why wouldn't it get refilled? I thought the beef was that everyone prescribed the stuff too easily? As for viagra, how do you know *I* wasn't kidding? :) on the other hand you never know around this place sometimes -- I turn 40 (this year -- like Richard) in about a month so perhaps I'm losing my sense of humor, too! lisa ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 02:30:24 EDT From: SoccrDawg@aol.com Subject: [RS] delayed hotlanta review I sure took my sweet time in getting caught up with my mail, list and personal, from the past week or so. I had a wonderful trip to Hotlanta. I got to see a friend that I haven't seen in almost a year and talked her into going with me to see Richard, whom she'd never heard of before that day. As you probably figured, the Red Light Cafe is not in a red light district (at least as far as i could tell!), but in a little area just outside of midtown Atlanta. The venue was very cozy. With the weather and the doors open, I felt like I was about to hear someone singing Jimmy Buffett songs. Thankfully that wasn't the case. There was no opener. This was my first time seeing Richard solo. It's so nice to hear the songs stripped to their simplest, unlike the album versions (which I do love but are just different). Richard started around 7:45 with the usual Next Best Western. I guess I'll give a quick setlist for the heck of it Kenworth of My Dreams Confession (love love love the acoustic version) Mary Magdalene A Summer Wind, A Cotton Dress Wisteria (*sigh* what else do I need to say?!?) ::broken string - silly accordion joke:: Cold Missouri Waters Transit ::break:: She Belongs to Me (Bob Dylan or Robert Zimmerman, as he joked) Fishing Lazy (I'm assuming that his pause before the line "but i can't remember" is intentional, right?) + the extra verse You Stay Here Reunion Hill (very slowed down. is this how he always plays it live?) Arrowhead Shades of Grey Are You Happy Now? encore: Abuelita Makin' Plans (?) a Louvin Brothers tune I had to run to the airport after the show to pick up my friend's bf but I got to talk to Richard for a sec and thank him profusely for his wonderful music. I gushed that since getting Somewhere Near Paterson at the final C3 show, there hasn't been a day where I haven't listened to it at least once, but more like 3-4 times on many days (how crazy is that?!?). I asked about the Louvin Brothers song and mentioned that Lucy had done "Angels Rejoiced in Heaven Last Night" in Nashville a few weeks ago and he said that they both just love that kind of stuff. I asked whether he knew if there would be any joint performances at Falcon Ridge and he said that there wasn't anything planned but more than likely there will be some sort of singing together. I had to ask..hehe. So, basically I thanked him a bajillion times and stammered my way through a few minutes of conversation. All in all a wonderful night. I really like the Red Light. Everything about the place and the people there was cool. Cliff Eberhardt is playing with Karla Bonoff there sometime soon. Sounds like a good show. I think I'll have to catch it in Nashvegas though. :c) Anyway, that was my first lengthy post on this list. Hope I didn't bore anyone. Oh, one more thing...Richard used a word twice that I'd never heard before: bucolic. Upon looking it up I found: 1 : of or relating to shepherds or herdsmen : PASTORAL 2 : relating to or typical of rural life I wish that I could remember how he used it. Maybe I'm silly but I was impressed by that. I guess to some people that isn't a "big" word but to me it was. Anyhoo, I'm gonna head for bed now. I hope that everyone is having a fantastic week! ..Nicole ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V2 #33 **********************************
