| Steely Dan – BarryTown Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Dr. Wu is correct - the village of Barrytown is near Bard where Fagan and Becker attended college. I do not believe, however, Rev. Moon had purchased that property at the time - it was a seminary of the Irish Christian Brothers, a Romoan Catholic order - my father went to high school there. Even without the Moonies, however, there was a big disconnect from the very liberal, very affluent downstate types who went (and still go) to Bard College and the people who lived in Barrytown at the time - which was very rural back in the day. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Badlands Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| See the references to faith, hope and love in the second verse. It seems to me that they could have been taken right from St Paul's great letter to the Corinthians. Unlike some who wear their Christianity on their sleeves, Mr. Springsteen's seems heartfelt and geniune - absorbed into his life, even if not traditionally practiced. | |
