The Rolling Stones – Citadel Lyrics 16 years ago
I have always REALLY liked those opening chords!

What are they?

They're good and loud of course, but why are they worse for our ears than other chords?

The Rolling Stones – Salt Of The Earth Lyrics 16 years ago
Well, what CAN be done about them?

You WISH they could see the light, but they seem bitterly determined NOT to.

Grateful Dead – Weather Report (Part 1) Lyrics 16 years ago
One of their very best songs.

"What shall we say, shall we call it by a name" was a line my ex and I used to use on each other.

Commenting about what was good -- and bad -- in our relationship.

All I can say is -- Thank God for my son!

Jefferson Airplane – Today Lyrics 16 years ago
Some think the love is consummated, others think it's not.

I take this song as love, consummated, again and again.

"Today I feel like pleasing you more than before".

The imagery is very, ummmh, oral.

Jefferson Airplane – If You Feel Lyrics 16 years ago
Break China laughin'!

I don't think Marty is talking about hedonism, precisely, because hedonism implies responsibilities, a seriousl life, that one is neglecting, as I understand the term.

He's saying, just BE. In other words, Zen, not hedonism. A fine point, and one that I would never belabor.

Jefferson Airplane – Hey Fredrick Lyrics 16 years ago
Hi! Just found this site. My first comment!

I suspect Grace was reading Nietzsche when she wrote this. "Fredrick" is not a usual English version of the name "Frederick", whereas "Friedrich" would have been a dead give-away. That was my first clue.
Second one was a PBS show on the centenary of Nietzsche's death, in 2000.

I think Grace was influenced by him, thought quite a bit like him -- who else so closely resembles a Superwoman? -- someone so talented, beautiful, blazingly intelligent, smart-mouthed -- and headed for the same fate as everyone else?

I also agree with the other interpretations of this song -- a brilliant, frenetic life, blazing across the sky TOO fast, like a comet.

"We are but a moment's sunlight" -- and some of us dazzle the eyes!
