    Sounds great! Will there be a break between the 2 sets?

    You surely know how to prime the pump, Tom. And thanks too for those NY and New England set list additions, along with the post-interview mood comments. Feel like I’m living the tour vicariously from the balmy American South. . .

    Lu songs:
    Joy
    Convince Me
    Well, Well, Well
    What If
    Ugly Truth
    Atonement
    American Dream
    Get Right With God
    Sidewalks Of The City

    Covers:
    For What It’s Worth
    Marching The Hate Machines
    Bone of Contention
    Teach Your Children
    Revolution – Beatles
    Revolution – Pretenders
    What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye
    Power To The People
    Fight The Power

    More ideas? 🙂

    great, but i prefer mercy mercy me (the ecology). it aged much, much nicer. if ecology isn’t on the forefront as one of the most urgent matter of our times, look around. the world is falling apart.

    some protest song by iris dement (there’s a wall in washington, maybe?).

    and i’d trade AMERICAN DREAM (sorry, AD, i’m not fond of ya) . . .

    Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm
    He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam
    It used to help kill the pain some of the time
    Now I can’t sleep at all since I got back home

    . . . for john prine’s SAM STONE. someday someone will make a poll asking which is the best verse ever written in english and “there’s a hole in daddy’s arm/ where all the money goes” would get the prize if it depended on me. 🙂

    PDL – “Mercy Mercy Me” – good one! 🙂

    What about “People Have The Power” – Patti Smith?

    Is there an Occupy Rio movement? How much attention is it getting?

    not really. optimism (blindness) all around. political consciousness was never a forte in brazil. and now that the country is booming, the currency is strong, inflation is down, unemployment rate is low, more & more (& more!) oil found in ther deep waters of the south atlantic ocean, that rio is getting tidier, safer and less grizzly* i don’t think there is one in motion. but i’ve been following the press on Occupy WS movement since that incident in the brooklyn bridge.

    *and this process is kinda ruining the city’s colorful, dazzling, messy character. right time to visit is NOW, before the city gets so safe you can actually walk around without being held-up at gun-point.

    Yes there will be a short break between sets.

    Some good suggestions for covers. For the record, no pun intended, Bone Of Contention is a Lucinda song.

    Thanks for the enlightenment, can’t believe I didn’t know that. I had downloaded “Lu in 08” and thus wasn’t able to study the packaging, but assumed that Lu had found yet another cool song from some obscure talent. It all makes sense now. Thx! 🙂
