'Ohio' arrived this morning from Amazon, like a glimpse of heaven in the mailbox,
I wish I could listen to the music and leave everything else behind me...there should be a Government department which ensures that everyone has their share of great music...it could be like social security for songs...work and career planning would take second place to the music...what a brave new world that would be, there's nothing stopping the human race from shifting gear toward music and fun...we are compelled by custom to become something we are not...now what's the point of that? Let the music take you higher than the clouds...
Full Version: Ohio

I daresay it will seem even more like a glimpse of heaven in your CD player. Enjoy!
As for me, I must soon leave for my customary job so that I can pay for all those CDs and concert tickets...
'Ohio' does the business...I read in another thread that there's so much good music out there etc...and it's true, every time I think I've found the most amazing music ever something comes along to blow me out the window....

couldn't have said it better myself.
pour yourself a nice tall glass of cider (or your favourite drink), kick back, relax, and enjoy.
everyone deserves good music.

That kind of goes along with my theory that every person born in the U.S. should be issued a copy of Pet Sounds at birth.
'Ohio' is such a nice little slice of heaven...
Pet Sounds at birth?!?! BRILLIANT!!! Does that mean that those born in England are issued Sgt. Peppers?

So very true...maybe we should form an alternative government? Any takers?
We need a Minister for Pure Joy first...then a Senator to control the ecstasy levels,
then a system to distribute the best music...oh my...are we becoming totalitarian?
No chance...we just go with the flow....

Who would be president? What living musical legends could live up to the task?
Lucinda Williams? Brian Wilson?
Or do we put the country in the young capable hands of, say...
Ryan Adams?

First President of the new Republic Of Music...Karin Bergquist, just take it from there...

Only if we want the entire country to turn into a nation of epileptics.
My vote goes to Jon Stewart.
And incidentally, while Pet Sounds was created by an American, it was much more successful in the U.K. when it was released. I always found that amusing.
Kind of how it's amusing the Jimi Hendrix had to go to Britain to "be discovered?"
What is it with Americans being slow to good music?

I have a question, kind of.
This lyric, "Whoever brought me here / Is gonna have to take me home," from What I'll Remember Most, is a Rumi quote (translated by Coleman Barks). There's not really any mention of that in the liner notes. Do you think that Linford intentionally quoted Rumi, or that he wrote the line himself, independently? I suppose he knows its Rumi- it's just strange to me that it isn't mentioned. Since I don't have the liner notes to the older cds, I don't know if they mentioned CS Lewis or Madeleine L'Engle when they borrowed titles.
Anyway... just thinking about this.
