yeah, but as discussed at the show, Dylan wasn't as
boring. :)
i do agree that Mattei had some nice lyrics, but the
songs were too long, they sounded the same, and they
were all about prostitutes (or so it seemed). he'd
work better as poet.

not necessarily.
i love poetry, but me liking "poetry in song" really
weighs a lot on the songwriter. he really didn't do
much for me. maybe he should have just done spoken
word readings. :)
as for songwriters that pack a lot of words into their
music, more in the poetic-storytelling vein of Dylan-
i'd go with Peter Mulvey, Bill Mallonee, and Ani
Difranco (or heck, even the last Alanis Morissette)
rather than Maurice. oh well, to each hir own.
sidenote:
Rick, the Béla Fleck shows at Miami Univ are 11/30
and 12/1. let me know if you can find out any info
on tickets. i'll do the same if i find out.
ease replaced my self-esteem,
