Rufus Wainwright – Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk Lyrics	14 years ago
"Prodigal sons" means that he runs around with a lot of guys who are the sons of famous musicians and they all have to struggle with that legacy. One of them is Teddy Thompson, son of folkies Richard and Linda Thompson. Rufus is the son of Loudon Wainwright and Kate McGarrigal

James Taylor – That's Why I'm Here Lyrics	14 years ago
I think it's about touring and finding a way to reconcile himself to playing the same songs over and over for the people who love them. I think all famous musicians have to struggle with this. Some of them come to hate the audience. For JT, he learned to see this as his job, the reason he was born, to keep playing the songs we love, live.
