(Is he still touring?) I went to his concert in Athens a couple summers ago and am currently listening again to Live in London in my car CD player. You've picked out for quotation my favorite lines in a very great song. Practically the only records of his I don't have mostly by heart are New Skin for the Old Ceremony and Death of a Lady's Man. Oh, and the atrocious Dear Heather.

I would only request that you change my moniker from "Desperate" to "Dumbstruck" because it is better and I thought of it one minute too late. Signed,<br /><br />Less Dumbstruck in Delaware<br /><br />PS.: While we're loosely on this "length" theme, you will surely enjoy this, my favorite word from Sanskrit and perhaps any language:<br /><br />gopipinapayodharamardanachanchalakarayugashalin<br /><br />"Having a pair of hands trembling to knead the swelling breasts of cowgirls." Surely this word will describe both of our stalwart competitors after their jörmungandrian contest finally finds its tail with its mouth.thechildershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16522630649200476001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629301231907528990.post-42406966554680704992010-06-24T13:52:22.903+01:002010-06-24T13:52:22.903+01:00Is the "ö" anything like the "ø&quo...Is the "ö" anything like the "ø" in "et glass øl"?Mrs. Malaprophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571335974754100925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629301231907528990.post-33118606580113987332010-06-24T13:49:48.833+01:002010-06-24T13:49:48.833+01:00Dear Dogberry,
