Granted 'Car Wheels' was a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece, but why put out an album called 'West' if you're not going to do justice to the female experience of the West to the same degree that you've done justice to the experience of the South? And why so many juvenile songs about broken relationships with men? I would have liked her to have spent more time singing about her mother or her female friends or other relationships in her life, the richer relationships that come with age, instead of the men who can't make her "come on" (and whom she apparently still hasn't learned to avoid). <BR/><BR/>However, these are merely token criticisms of a singer who will always be a goddess and muse and queen of the universe!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555606836926211668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-44770120437602739512008-01-02T20:31:00.000-05:002008-01-02T20:31:00.000-05:00"Poop on toast."

That book earned a rare 5 Paw rating and two celebratory laps around the yard for its brilliance on the subject of animal/human relationships.<BR/><BR/>And good grief, yes, Goose, I can't believe we forgot to mention seeing the Boss twice this year! We may have to sneak back in and do a little updating on our post.

May I point out that it does not require the contract with AT&T?<BR/><BR/>I loved The Golden Compass, and my old/new favorite album is Evelyn Glennie's Greatest Hits.<BR/><BR/>One of the great new scholarly books of the year: Donna Haraway's When Species Meet. Roxie, you gotten read this!<BR/><BR/>Love, KatieKatie Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901518232103073849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-64640578093046535912008-01-02T10:31:00.000-05:002008-01-02T10:31:00.000-05:00Wonderful end-of-the-old, welcome-in-the-new year ...Wonderful end-of-the-old, welcome-in-the-new year post, Rox! Now, I'm surprised you didn't mention the moms' trip to Japan, which was a highlight of their world travels, nor did you mention all of the other live music they saw, from ole Bruce & the E Street Band (twice) to Nanci Griffith & Judy Collins to the Indigo Girls, all of whom were fabu, although Lucinda really did give the best live performance of the year. And your Uncle Bobby was marvelous. . .he would've loved to have a dog up there on the stage with him.<BR/><BR/>Here's to a 2008 that brings some peace, really, and a president with new ideas, really.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE YOU Rox and love this post and this blog. <BR/>--GooseMartha Nell Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066686045532002283noreply@blogger.com
