I really cannot get past the fascist flirtation and the eugenics, so I tend to be less tolerant of his pining than, say, Shelley's. I dislike judging art through its creator's character, but sometimes it happens.

But Richard's version of Calling the Moon is just transcendent. I have a question though. The lines "Calling the moon/By the name that she chose/As Tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robes"--anybody have grip on the meaning? I've googled "Tennesse" but I can't find anything that fits. Also, Richard substitutes "was" for "my" in the lines "When I called the moon back to me/I thought she wanted my beauty" (and adds "all" after "thought")--very different (there's been plenty of discussion of their versions on the list). Looking for titles of songs he's covered on his web site, it's interesting that he has no covers until Reunion Hill, weird that the three covers on that album aren't listed, and a shame that the lyrics of covers can't be included. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 16:31:35 -0500 From: Peter Booth Subject: Re: [RS] Calling the Moon and other covers Tennessee Williams?

Tolkien Amen to that!! That song, which I have requested of Richard before, and to which he has replied, "I guess I just don't play that one that much.", is about loss. Plain and simple, loss. Everytime I listen to it and hear the melancholy in his voice, it brings me to tears.

There have been several discussions on Dar-list and here about the Tennesse reference. It could be either trees in the state of Tennesse being moth-infested or about the playwright Tennesse Williams wandering around in his dotage.

I am normally a lurker....have been for years now. But this song makes me emerge from Lurkdome. Here, here! One of the most beautifully poignant songs ever written!
