BTW... Joe... Hope it's cool to name drop that podcast.  I really enjoy it and secretly hope they'll have you on as a guest someday.  They had Ringo... Y Not Joe!

I don't think I've ever heard it, but I don't have a great deal of time to listen to podcasts or watch clips. I've heard good things about it though. Anyway, I've turned down all TV/radio appearance I've been offered (not loads - probably fewer than 10 since I started this) - it's not something that interests me.

Hmm... interesting interpretation. I always thought it was simply a story about a lonely woman who died alone and was forgotten, and Father McKenzie was just another lonely person. I mean, if you think about it, this "lonely people" story may seem simple at first, but it's coming from a mere 24-year old. Paul was wise beyond his years.

24... Wow.  You're right.  It's amazing that he had that depth at that age.  Of course they'd lived a lifetime by them, hadn't they?

Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door... Who is it for?
 
The red light district where the boys played had the infamous brothels where the prostitutes would stand behind a window like... Well... Like any other store front window I guess.  She is a lonely prostitute putting on her best face for who ...]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2013 02:03:10 +0000
