one of her attempts at topical songs, no wonder she subconsciously led herself to a dylan title.
Pretty sure I remember Lucinda saying it was based off a story she read in the newspaper (I think in Texas) about a young man who killed his family. He never got enough love.

Sounds like enough for a double-album to me! 😉

I dunno, we don’t want any Self Portrait type of thing. I say it’s better–and more glamorous–for Lucinda to hold out on us and release the songs one album, and one year, at a time.
I liked her piece and glad they asked her to do it, especially about a song she knows and does so well. But, and this is more than a matter of taste I would argue, what is up with that list? So nostalgic and refuses to treat more contemporary Dylan in any intelligent or inventive way.
After looking at the list of journalists who compiled the list, though, I guess this kind of thing is what you can expect from a bunch of men who spend their lives looking, writing and thinking backwards…
Trying to decide–and constantly changing my mind depending on what song I’m currently listening to–which one Lucinda ought to perform if she does…I think “Convince Me.”
Mr. Overby,
I received a very thoughtful and kind response to my essay about Lucinda and her magical World Without Tears record a while back and, because I had just sent the thing out as an abstract for publication and am a superstitious bastard, didn’t want to respond until I had good news for you–who knew it would take so long for the vetting process to occur?
Either way, I wanted to let you know that I appreciated your comments and that the essay in question has just been accepted to appear in the upcoming Women’s Studies Quarterly–an academic journal, so not as wide a readership as Rolling Stone or anything, but I am a PhD student and this will be my first published material–a very big step in my career due, I can say with all honesty and seriousness, to the magic contained in Lucinda’s work. As a fan, and now as a young scholar, I can say listening to her music has paid off – can say that I too am Blessed…
All my best,
Taylor
(ps: I’ll be there cheering y’all on in NYC on Friday and Saturday–can’t wait!)Out of the three offered, I’d take the last photograph as a decent album cover for Blessed –the other two are absolute horrors! Straight people kissing: bleh! And children?! Bitch please.
As the resident academic nerdy-homo I’d like to ask what books our lady is reading (aside from the rhyming dictionary)
any advice on how I can get these links to play on my mac? I tried being sneaky and saving them “as mp3” but that didn’t work….also the regular ‘rar’ or whatever doesn’t seem to open anything…such a tease!
newest update on J vs H is on Lucinda’s “Lonely Girls…”
hope you enjoy
