PPS. And as for Gone Again, nobody's mentioned Wing, which I think is a great
song - one of her more surreal and upbeat dirge-y numbers.  Check it out....


I couldn't agree more.  I was going through treatment for clinical depression
(the ultimate long-playing cd) when that came out and found a wonderful
mesmerizing, sweeping peace in that song.  Also, Blue Poles had the same
effect one Peace-n-Noise, but that could be the appeal to my Appalachian
upbringing too (as in the phrases, "we joined the long
caravan...hungry...going west...just for work....just to get a job", etc.).
Also, did Blue Poles bring the Joad family (Grapes of Wrath) to mind for
others?
