This is a superficial review, and I couldn't disagree more with reference to Gray's lack of literate lyrics. Let's not forget that Joan Baez called him the best lyricist to come along since Bob Dylan. Let's not try to typecast him either, even if "Jumpin' Jesus, Holy Cow" sounds a lot more like Dylan than Van Morrison. Let's just enjoy the fact that Gray in late fall is a lot more colorful than red at Christmas or green rivers on March 17th.

I am affraid there is no reference to the "repo" man in "The One I Love." Rather the reference is to the "reaper" man, as the song's main image is a man, lay dying, reaching out to anyone and every thing he holds dear.

Thanks.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Capricorn

You feel like overindulging yourself in some way today, and why not? Throw caution to the wind and eat your way through a big bar of chocolate, or have a retail therapy session that leaves you reeling from the amount of money you've spent. There's a definite chance you could get carried away and tell a whopper of a story that has little resemblance to what really happened. What on earth has got into you?
