Well maybe some of us might. I had no trouble at all sitting and listening to 9 minutes of "American Pie" today. Having said that, what you said, Liz, has a lot of truth in it, unfortunately.

I try to not get caught up too much in that kind of rushed way of living. I think it's very important to remember to take time out to sit and listen. I'm lucky to have a partner who enjoys reading Terry Pratchett and Lord of the Rings to me, and I love it - and a ballad, if it is well written and tells a good story, will get my full attention.
