It's a curious thing: I'm listening to some music I haven't listened to for years. The curious thing is that what "turned me off" years ago is precisely why I find it so interesting now.
Here's an example from Daniel Amos' album Kalhoun.
(Yes, literate reader, the lyrics are not that ambiguous, but for me, ascending the heights of enlightenment are arduous!)
But this ambiguity also applies to bands like U2, The Call, The 77s and others. It opens a space, a human space.
It is perhaps that becoming an adult means the refusal of fundamentalism? Perhaps.
1973 - when I started asking questions, like, "Why are we all dressed so funny?"
