Yeah, I didn't read too much into that.

Thanks Nico, you've changed my perspective (again!)
I must admit I didn't consider that LB may have intentionally left out OOtC songs because of their personal nature. When I embrace an album such as OOtC, I immerse myself so completely that I forget the artist's own personal stake in it. Which I guess is the hallmark of a great work. You take ownership, possess it, defend it and re-discover it over & over. Lindsey is really good at creating songs like that, isn't he? I really enjoy all these insightful comments!
