I've been listening to AYP quite a bit this week... dont ask me where I got
an advance copy, OK?
I have broken it up into two categories: songs from the Euro tour and "new"
songs. Differently is at the moment my favorite of the "new" songs (although
at first it was definitely Mr. Dissapointment cause of the whole "how ya
doin?" thing and the cool-Neil spoken-word/rap effect). I have been
grooving to the punchy, rhythmic sound of it, and the simple lyrics. I have
to say, I didnt connect it to Berlin so much, but it makes me think of Tom
Petty. Is there a TP song that sounds similar? I cant think of a particular
one...
PS, A big thanks to Crazy Moon for putting me up at his home in the Mojave
Desert during my rusted road trip last month. His 'guest room' has some
wonderful Neil artifacts... had a hard time falling asleep cause I was so
excited just to be there.
PPS Another thanks to the rusties of the Pacific Northwest, who 'carried on'
a fine fest in spite of the cancelled Tacoma show. I planned the route of my
4 week trip around being back in time for the concert... I didn't have to
shake the hand of Mr. Dissapointment on the 15th cause it was still a great
time, a 'victory for the heart' to be sure.
PPPS I have also been enjoying the version of Dont Say You Love Me on AYP.
For some strange reason, that song always makes me think of creamy,
delicious Cadbury milk chocolate... Jules, it may be time to make another
trade! =)
Yours in rust,
