That Glass-Cohen book sounds wonderful ... I need to track one down and check it out, Joe. Thanks for the tip!
"New Skin" is a really special record to me too -- very few songwriters express that level of observational honesty with such strikingly personal imagery. It's "poetic" enough to get him by without lawsuits, but there is a whole lot of life wrapped up in that record.
Speaking of which, thanks FAB, about recommending Eitzel's upcoming solo records. I have a couple of his previous ones and was disappointed by much of them. Yeah, "Mercury" set a standard that has been impossible for he or AMC to love up to, solo or band-wise. Breathtaking indeed.
