hi seahawk,
i could go on forever about Zevon.just a brilliant songwriter! but going back to EW, you're right about it being a 'divorce record'. listen to the jealousy, infidelity & heartbreak that abounds in "TCIS", "If Children Had Wings", & my favourite "Dreamland". these emotions aren't limited to just this album, no-one writes an unrequited love song better than Lightfoot. his ability to take emotions bordering on hatred & turning them into beautiful melodies is unmatched. hatred is a strong word, but i'm sure we've all had at least one relationship that went sour, leaving us with feelings towards that person that could hardly be called fondness!
anyway, Gord is much more economical with words than i'll ever be, so i'll sign off for now. take care
James Hill
