Sucks.So.Bad. So.Tired. Went to bed at 3:30. Sucks. Asss. It's all bright out, too, it hurts my eyes and makes me crabby.

Also, the vocal in this song is one of her more stunning. Her voice soars. I get chills (and they're multiplyin' ) when I hear it.

"I can't call the electric company because I don't have a phone. I can't get a phone because I can't drive. I'd better move neurotically into my closet."

Thank god that multi color bic pen was in it, or we wouldn't have gotten the great songs.


I'd also like to add that I would like Sable on Blond much better if it didn't start with those elevator dentist office sounding "ahahahahahahaahah"s. Yuck.

It's not a song, it's an entire album and yes, I think there is some sort of obvious nod to Dylan there but I can't figure out what it is. Here is the track listing. Damn there are some good songs on here:


Side 1
"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" – 4:36
"Pledging My Time" – 3:45
"Visions of Johanna" – 7:30
"One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)" – 4:56

Side 2
"I Want You" – 3:09
"Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" – 7:06
"Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" – 3:52
"Just Like a Woman" – 4:42

Side 3
"Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" – 3:24
"Temporary Like Achilles" – 4:51
"Absolutely Sweet Marie" – 4:48
"4th Time Around" – 4:29
"Obviously 5 Believers" – 3:32

Side 4
"Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" – 11:43

"I wrote this when I came off the Bella Donna tour, one of the most exhilarating and beautiful experiences I've ever had. And I moved into my new dream house, but it was more of a nightmare because it was cold and empty; I only had my piano, there were no phones and I was all alone, freezing with nothing.

Is she talking about the Phoenix house?

Then you'll find yourself moving into your closet after doing the coke.

No problem about posting the write up about SOB from the press kit. As for my screen name. I got that years ago from my nephew and brother in law. When my nephew was very little my brother in law told him to call me "Uncle Skuncle" and that's what I became. At this point my nephews have dropped the Uncle part.
Been on The Ledge for awhile now, just don't post much. Been on the Enchanted list for years.

Good to meet you finally. My husband used to torture his older nieces with stupid nicknames, so when the younger ones came along, they made them start calling him "Uncle Poopies." It stuck, and now he's just known as "Poopies" to most of the family.

The title of Blonde On Blonde is supposedly nothing but an acronym. I don't think it has ever had any specific meaning attached to it.
