hold on there,cowpoke
Liz has jumped off the major-label bandwagon and is going back to the source, performing "Guyville" in it's entirety in Chicago and NYC
i almost gave up on her, too but
she still has one of the best records of all time on her resume
cut her some slack...how do you trump a masterpiece? especially your OWN masterpiece?
"Johnny, my love, get out of the business
It makes me want to rough you up so badly
Makes me want to roll you up in plastic
Toss you up and pump you full of lead
Johnny, my love, get out of the business
The odds are getting fatter by the minute
That I have got a bright and shiny platter
And I am gonna get your heavy head
I only ask because I'm a real cunt in spring
You can rent me by the hour
I know all about the ugly pilgrim thing
Entertainers bring May flowers
So Johnny, my love, we got us a witness
Now all we gotta do is get a preacher
He can probably skip the "until death" part
Cause Johnny, my love, you're already dead
May flowers
May flowers
To you"
Phair claims to have modelled the structure of Guyville on Exile on Main Street. Well, I've been playing them back to back and so far all I've spotted is the use of the word 'cunt' on track 4 of both albums (Phair's 'Dance of the Seven Veils' and the Stones' 'Casino Boogie'): "I only ask because I'm a real cunt in spring/You can rent me by the hour"; "Dietrich movies, close up boogies/Kissing cunt in Cannes". No doubt I'll pick up the nuances and subtleties later. ;)
