SATURDAY SONGSTRESS: BOBBIE GENTRY


I love the lyrics to this song. So much mystery! There are at least ten different interpretations of this haunting song. I personally think it's a very strong statement about abortion. However, the movie's take on this song is about the stigma of being gay - not abortion.

What's your thoughts on the matter? At any rate, I sure do wish Bobbie Gentry had recorded more music. She had a genuine story teller's gift that is rarely found in popular music. And that voice!

LETTING GO...

A new microwave
An old vase breaks on the floor
Treasure the present

Roy bought me a new microwave! It's twice the size of my old one, so I can now buy and cook food I was never able to cook before (microwave was way too small). This is really good news.

I thank you much, Mr. Roy!!

PIECE OF HER HEART

 


Afraid and lonely
A wallflower from Texas
Bloomed into a rose
