I’m not very patient here!! What time, or am I missing it? 😀
That now makes two of us impatient fans.
Here is Lucinda’s artist page on Rolling Stone.
In the lower left hand corner under videos you can see the cartoon image but it won’t open.
I’ll try again later.http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/lucinda-williams
Some content you have to subscribe ?lwj
Still no joy on that one video thumbnail link. A search of the entire RS site also proved fruitless. Got a link anyone?

Here we go to Copenhagen.
Awesome.

I really like it. It wasn’t what I expected at all.
Really cool concept.Agreed!

Love it too…it does what most really good videos do – offers a new perspective that makes you hear a song differently than you have before.
After reading the writeup on rs.com, I am curious what songs Lucinda tried doing videos to earlier…Pineola??
The only one that I know that got seriously discussed was one for Right In Time. She had a meeting with a then well known movie director about his idea for the video. She hated the idea and…well let’s just say that by the end of the meeting she thought even less of him.
loved the video.

never mind, people, here’s a videoclip for right in time, featuring boring, tepid couples, paris (the city of love, zzzz), some ugly beaches, all cheesy, romantic stuff.

the song is insanely good and somehow manages to stay afloat in this saccharine slide show.
Here’s a short article from Paste magazine about (as well as another opportunity to view) the “Copenhagen” video…

Wow, I finally caught up with the Rolling Stone video of “Copenhagen” and can’t quite muster as much enthusiasm for it as certain posters (and friends) have expressed in this stream. The “circling the moon” ending works pretty well, but much baffles. Whatever the slight mystery around the death of Frank Callari, I’m pretty sure an upended vehicle and cruiser lights were not components of his final time on earth. Some of the weather segue from fall/October to winter snow is pretty hilarious, though. And you gotta like those flesh tones on that female figure; did the “robot” grab her butt with a grappling hook type thing at one point? Good heavens. But yes, it’s two different media. As long as it doesn’t play on any overhead wide screens while Lucinda’s singing it in venues which might have such screens, we’ll give it a C+.
And yes, Tom, I’ve heard a version of the “famous director” and the failed “Right in Time” video story. Has the statute of limitations elapsed sufficiently so that that person can be named in 2011?
