Obviously, open to different images in different listeners! My confession is that when "Vuelta" first appeared, I came on this list and stated that it didn't do very much for me, and I preferred Richard's previous works. However - for some time now, if I don't set my player to 'random' and listen to all of Richard's CDs that way, the one I almost always go for now is "Vuelta". Well done, Richard! May you enjoy a long and varied career!

After the exquisitely lyrical "Merritt Parkway, 2 am", I am delighted by the idea. In other news, not only did Patricia Garcia Rios write a great article, but she is a wonderfully gifted concert photographer, as well, if I've got my bylines straight. That woman's got a great eye. The concert photos (especially the one gracing the cover) capture so much of Richard's energy on stage! They're gorgeous. - --V ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 14:14:11 EST From: EeyoresMe@aol.com Subject: [RS] Re: shindell-list-digest V7 #12 Personally, I never thought of the head in AYHN as the one on his shoulders. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 15:31:54 -0500 From: Vanessa Wills Subject: [RS] Re: observations from dirty linen In fact, Rios did such a good job that I won't even hold it against her or her editor that the DL article includes a misspelling of the title of Richard's first album. It's not like it hasn't happened to the best of us! ;-) http://www.dirtylinen.com/linen/116/ - --V On Sat, 15 Jan 2005 11:55:16 -0500, Vanessa Wills wrote: > In other news, not only did Patricia Garcia Rios write a great > article, but she is a wonderfully gifted concert photographer, as > well, if I've got my bylines straight. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 18:24:24 -0500 From: Lisa Davis - home Subject: Re: [RS] Pushing your luck, and a confession I have to say that "I put the lens up to my head" IRRESISTABLY makes you think "I put the gun up to my head." so that "what comes out grey is really red" has to make you think of it as a shot, blood. It's a shocker line. Maybe that's the point, to shock her. At point blank range anything would look grey, why not make her think it's blood, as in "are you happy now that I've shot myself?" Anyway, this is all too literal; I bet it sounded that way to Richard too, irresistible, and he just had to put it in, doesn't mean the character was supposed to have actually shot himself. But then I'm the one who thought the narrator of "By Now" was a rescuer and not a predator.

As my buddy John Clereigh once said, the only reason the narrator wants to know if she's left a note "telling where you might be by now" is to know whether the REAL rescuers will have a clue as to where to start looking for the body.
