Well I just wanted to say that I also took this semi-literal...one of Joni's talents is to mix metaphors and create these kind of double meanings where you can take what she says literally and it makes sense or you peel back the shades of meaning and find many more. I think this line from This Flight Tonight is an example of that. And I wanted to commend MG for successfully working Taylor Ham into at least two posts this week ;-) I don't think anyone else would have that talent. Love Nikki
np: Patty Griffin - Tomorrow Night Now MG: For a long time, I always view that line as semi-literal and took "falling star" to mean a once famous persona and "Las Vegas Sands" to mean quite literally the Sands Resort in LV. Thus, "I saw a falling star burn up above the LV Sands" hit my head as "above" being the marguee where the headliners are the lead neon names and then there's smaller and smaller print until you see: "And playing in our Taylor's Ham Lounge: Tony Orlando and Dawn." Then again, this is the gal who thought that Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson of MLB fame were twin brothers......... MG
