DMD3,

I think you might want to ask the school nurse for some Valium, again. What's up with this line ?

I think he is being bullied by that Mexican boy.

No, no,no, not bullied, just being looked at weird. Did you know me and that girl have still never said a word to each other?

My second post now, after reading replies to "incredible experience" and other posts, and now realizing that I am not an obsessive psycho, his music really does heal.

Yes, hard to pick a favorite line, but another one that's helping me through my current crisis, and gave me impetus to find some strength in myself and get well:

"If you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon."

Oh yes, I so agree with you! This has helped me too!

And what about: "Stay loose, don't fight it, let it take you all the way ... do not waste these hours away" ? I find I can succeed in letting go when I hear this. This music does heal!

You will find your tongue's on fire while lying next to Lavender

WIth the words you've never spoke before and will not speak again

From Don Quixote:

"Then in a blaze of tangled hoaves, he gallops off across the dusty plain in vain to search again, but no one will hear".

Hmmm...what Oma said plus:

...a tuna fish turned to a mermaid in bed and said "there goes another sand bar" from "Triangle"

and

they live on candied apples instead of oates and hay...."The Pony Man"

and

whatever you think of me...I'm still your friend so other than nothin' what's new? ..."Tatoo"

and

She's my knotty pine
She leans with the wind
She cries turpentine
Sometimes she nettles me
But I don't mind

from "Knotty Pine"

The one line that says everything there is to say, as far as I'm concerned:

"John loves Mary, does anyone love me?"
