Yeah, sorry about the Luke Kelly remark, I did like his the best, but I am interested you said that it was sung with great feeling -- didn't translate over the sound waves to me, it seemed to me to be all in the same tone. I sure agree on the Van Morrison one -- truly truly horrible, that fake let's make this verse real quiet and all that, pinched voice. (And I am a VM fan).

Could it be sung in the persona of a rejected woman poet, I wonder. Do they go about generating Galatea fantasies? I haven't known or read one who did.

yours, Peter T.
