I thought I was long past the time when a woman could affect me like that--but then, last year I saw her video, and when she looked at the camera
--my heart went bo-i-n-n-ng!

emmylou is one of my real heroes, one of those artists who just keeps on growing and changing. i saw her last fall on the RED DIRT GIRL tour and cried numerous times. bring kleenex to the zoo, Amergin . . .

emmylou has class, which is a lost art. she is not constricted in one genre -- traddie, singer/songwriter, or interpreter. she has immense sexual appeal but doesn't use it as smoke and mirrors. she's one of the very few Famous People these days with that kind of cred.

i admit, i want to be her when i grow up.

the zaftig version of emmy, at least.

which will conveniently fulfill that aspect of the Mudcat longing.

sigh.

I just thought she was aging and still doing the best with what she has. There's always been a bit of the "beat/hippie/earth mother" look about her and age is showing the character that is, as you so well point out, prized in men......at least generally. I like that look in women too.....just a personal opinion.

Thinking of that always makes me think of Clark Gable. In his day he was considered to be a handsome man. For me, he never looked better than he did in "The Misfits" which was done just before he died. I hope that isn't a sign you're about to croak!

She's aging well both emotionally and physically. Do I like the way she looks? Yeah.......But I think the package is what I see most and why I so loved that line, "an Heirloom Rose among the Daisies." The people I have as close friends meet that desciption pretty well too.

They all fell silent for a minute or two, then Tom shrugged and said, in a sentence that sums up an area of significant difference between (some) men and (many) women: "I don't care. They're still hooters."

Now back to Emmylou: What do you guys think about her hair, now that she's surrendered to the gray? Does that affect your affection?

I don't know who Mr. Fielding is or why he feels the need to say such things about me, but he is extremely hurtful to me, my friends and my family.

I am a very active performer. For more information, please visit my website.

Officially leaving the "date with Emmy" line. Now the "Adrienne Barbeau" line.....Oh Hell, she's probably dead by now!

Rick, you're such a prince. The women of the Mudcat will love you even more, now that you've professed a preference for zaftig. What a wonderful term that is ...

I looked in on GR's website. I love that mando-ish shape! I really ought to seek him out again...

Peace, Mooh (not home again).

An aside: I remember Glen Reid now. Met him at the Collingwood Celtic Festival, sat on my tailgate and played his guitar. I had been guitar shopping and was considering his, though I bought from someone else eventually. I'd like to try his mandolin(s).

The world gets smaller. Mooh.

If she was some big-bazoomed bimbo, I wouldn't think it was cute, I'd think it was icky. But then you all are far too classy to get all mushy over some big-bazoomed bimbo, aren't ya? Aren't ya? WEll, yes, except for Catspaw, of course ...

I had exactly the same hairdo in 1975. Does that count? (Of course, every other young woman in the U.S. and much of the rest of the world did as well, but hey ... )

Bless yer little cotton socks ... ww

Mooh.
