And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep -
You ditch it all to stay alive
A thousand kisses deep."

very elegant mental and physical landscape and imagery. I feel like I know that exac moment our feelings and experiences coincided.

Have you read Wordsworth?
Looked up Wordsworth, looks interesting. Recommendations? If not I'll just start with the Preclude.

98: Double Expresso-The Tony Levin Band

This is easily the one of most underappreciated live albums ever, it's just about flawless. The setting is warm and intimate yet the band is bursting with energy while remaining incredibly tight. Tony Levin himself is as masterful as ever while his backing band is more than solid behind him. While every song is excellent and full of energy, the cover of Zeppelin's Black Dog really stands out, and makes this a must get for any Zeppelin fan (Lookin' at you JJJ). The album was recorded in Woodstock, New York, which, as most of you probably know, is 43 miles from where the real Woodstock took place.
Favorite lyrics: n/a
Favorite song: Black Dog

I need to get that. Tony Levin is one of my top favorite bass guitar gods.

It's a really great album, any KC/Levin/music fan should get it.

You might be interested in Stevens, Levin, Bozio's "Black Light Syndrome". It's top notch prog., but what go my attention was Steve Stevens (Billy Idol fame) playing flamenco guitar on "Duende", which is phenomenal.

It's kind of like the opposite of Dylan, but ya know, I still like Dylan's voice, but he was awesome early.
I've tried to get into early Cohen, but it's just not possible.
I feel you on Cohen, even though I disagree. I liked everything up to Modern Times.

Get to work Kid! It's summer and I bet you don't even have a job.

Anyway as for Wordsworth, it's hard to say, he's just so visual with his poetry a lot like that Cohen piece, I think you'd enjoy it a lot.

A could link you to some stuff online, but I'm sure you're better with this stuff anyway. I got my first computer when I was almost 10 years older then you are now. This shit is tough on me.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
