I believe Kate and others interpreted the Little Green line correctly. She gives him a description of his newborn child, beckoning him home, and he responds with a fricking poem. I guess "non-comformer" sounds better than "limp-dick." LG is one of those songs, along with Cherokee Louise, that really make me weapy and weak in the knees. Also one of those songs so obvious in its meaning, but which no one seems to have gotten (me included) until reports surfaced in the 80's.
Pissing an tequila anaconda is definitely not pissing a frufru drink, but rather some outdoor relief after a series of shots of Mr. Cuervo and creating a meandering river of piss. Maybe its an L.A. thing . . . a traditional post-El Choyo experience (which, by the way, might make a pleasant potential mecca for the next L.A. Joni-fest). By the way, in LA it has been in the 70's and 80's and the citrus blossoms tonite are perfuming the air so sweetly it is almost cloying. Plus, the Lakers finally beat a good team tonite. It is a magic hour. Where I am really obtuse and/or the one line that I have always thought off-putting is the refrain from ACOY: Oh I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet oh I would still be on my feet Fecking gorgeous song. The rest of song always struck me as extolling the relationship/man in her life who she lost or is losing or is fighting. I would have thought that it would be an intoxicating experience to overdose on a great lover. . . nothing wrong with pumping the guy up a bit. Yet JM says she could drink a case of this guy and still not be hammered. What gives? He is weak? He doesn't affect her even in large quantities? Is it that he is so much like her -- she knows him so well -- that he does not affect her? Is she saying he is Lite Beer -- good riddance? I am sure that there is some obvious answer I am missing, but I am not above confessing ignorance, at least tonight, anyway. Ron L.A. P.S., I am making this NJC as a matter of pique. Joni only status is just plain lazy. Deleting email is the only good exercise I get nowadays. Imagine the furor over identifying something definitely Joni as NJC? But if they never know . . . ;P
