You certainly have every right to that opinion, but I have to respectfully disagree. Some of the best songs are sad songs, so if "Down on Rodeo" is lugubrious, then I think that's a GOOD thing. I'd add "Street of Dreams" and "Say Goodbye" to that list, too. And they also happen to be some of my favorite Lindsey songs.
"Lugubrious" comes from the book "Conversations with Pauline Kael."

What do you mean by "antimusical?" Do you mean "not musical" or "anti- musicals," like Carousel, Chicago, etc.? I'm not trying to be a jerk---I sincerely don't understand what you mean.
The concept--& possibly the word itself--comes from a nearly forgotten review, possibly in Rolling Stone, of Stevie's contribution to the "Boys on the Side" soundtrack. When I post stuff, I just combine bits & pieces of everything I have ever read or heard. It doesn't necessarily make linear or logical sense; it's more my form of painting. The Ledge is my canvas.
