OK, here's a little exercise that might help anyone who doesn't "like" DED (which personally, I love - it's in my Joni top five). Get yourself a copy of the William Shatner/Leonard Nimoy classic, "Spaced Out - The Very Best Of....". Listen to it five consecutive times at least, but play Both Sides Now and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ten times. NOW play Dog Eat Dog. Doesn't it sound good?!
