Welcome, Warren...very bold of you to defend DED on your very first post! :~)
Definitely some nice moments on that record. I was reading about Lennon's "Imagine" in the latest Rolling Stone, and it reminded me of "Impossible Dreamer", which is a great composition. When you stand DED up to what else was out there in 1985, it looks OK. It's only when you prop it up against most of her other work that it begins to pale. Looking forward to hearing more outta ya'! :~) Bob NP: Vonda Shepherd, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"
