Does it ever.  So many of Richard's songs are those "RS in other people's 
bodies" character pieces, that I sometimes lose sight of the fact that some 
of his most moving and "wistful" songs are the ones that are coming from 
Richard Himself.  Like "Blue Divide" and "You Again" (two of the most 
beautiful love songs I know), "I Saw My Youth Today" and several others. 
That's why I never tire of listening to him, and why his CDs are my "default" 
CDs (meaning when I don't know what to grab for the car, I grab one of his, 
"Sparrows Point" more often than not).  It's because I put his CDs on Shuffle 
Play and never know where he's going to take me from song to song . . . or 
even who's going to be doing the singing . . . Richard, William Taylor, 
Eliza, Mary Magdalene, Abuelita, the grocer, whoever.  

It's a sign of a guy with a pretty secure ego that every song does not have 
to be about Me, Myself, and I . . . but the ones that are, sure are winners.

I have a friend who grew up in Pittsburgh, PA.  HE said he was back there
afew years ago and wnet with his brother to see the old house.  They were
sitting in their car looking at it and talking when someone came out and
said, "What are you doing here?"  They said they used to live ther and go
the reply,

    "Well, you don't live here no more!"
