Welcome, Erica! Thanks for the introduction! I WISH your type of post WAS the norm...I love lyric discussions, but I think I'm definitely in the minority. As has been mentioned, DITS gets a lot of talk and just made the rounds a while back. I was actually listening to a live version of it this morning, and thinking about how cryptic it is and how we've tried to decode it over the years. She says in her liner notes that it was written in the wee hours...one can probably also safely assume that mind-altering substances were at play. In general terms, I think the song is about the inner struggle of the female who is halfway into the feminist zeitgeist of the mid-70's but also into her own co-dependency on male relationships. Lots of historical references about male-female struggles, and lots of other things that a lot of us STILL don't get. But it's fun to talk about - that's why I signed up for the tour. Looking forward to more of your thoughts. Bob (Muller) NP: Mary Fahl, "Paolo" (thanks, Ashara!!)
