Thanks for the kind words, Eric. I wanted to say to i dust, that is a great thought about people not remembering who those people are, and I say this because I have had that thought myself. (I want to note that I am kidding around here.) With the reality of the news cycle, and the current [pun intended] trends in the flow of information, in the very near future people won't be able to remember what happened this morning. As for The Sixties, I don't plan to put that version on the disc. I might edit a version out of that leaving out Ms. Tripp & the Goldberg menace, leaving in all the media people, the people with weak strong opinions and a overdeveloped need for attention- as Sam calls it, Attention Deficit Disorder. I don't want to have an opinion. But, I am having trouble knowing what to do with that song. I really don't like the fact that I used Jacqueline Kennedy in the way that I did. I find it offensive. I really love and respect her, and it hardly seems right to trot that old argument out at this point. When she was in the White House, she brought Pablo Casals out of retirement for a concert in one of the rooms of the house. She wanted a Ministry of the Arts. It is all so far a cry from what has been going on since then. The song, at the time, was a course attempt to describe the counter revolution that was taking place in answer to the revolution of the sixties. It is all very clear, of course, now that the counter revolution has almost run its course, but at the time I was taking a blunt instrument to something that I found offensive at that time, but couldn't see very well. At any rate, without going on about this, at the "Shut It Tight" session we did a version of "Be Careful of Stones that You Throw", that I might replace the thing with. Or, maybe I'll keep writing. I'm going to decide soon, but the more important thing to me is that I'm not going to take any more work until I finish Tooth of Crime. I am definitely getting that out this Spring or Summer. We did a session a couple of weeks ago with Sam Shepard reading several passages from the play while we backed him up. He also wrote a song on the spot out of the dialog. I'm getting close. And the next one is not far behind. By not taking any more work, I am assuring myself of getting this work done, since I will be broke in a matter of hours. Economy is the essence of art. And Sam will have her record out this Spring. It is really in good enough shape to release now, but she wants to put this one more song on there. Who am I to tell her not to? One last thing to Peter. Thanks for not knowing what you think about the movie. I think the Coens' movies are like that. You know them a lot better after they've been around for a while. Hope I haven't overloaded anyone's deal with this long submission. Kindest regards from T B one
