Talk:Ghosts of the Great Highway

"occasionally surprising lightness of spirit"
Last sentence of the third paragraph is a bit misleading regarding the song Glenn Tipton. I believe it is fairly obvious from the lyrics that the speaker of the song is a serial killer:

"I buried my first victim when I was nineteen  Went through her bedroom and the pockets of her jeans  And found her letters that said so many things  That really hurt me bad   I never breathed her name again  But I liked to dream about what could have been  I never heard her calls again  But I like to dream" Therefore I don't believe the song should be included as an example of "lightness of spirit", although the song does sound nice.

I always thought that was metaphorical —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.76.75 (talk) 20:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

What would it be metaphorical of? I don't believe Kozelek is using figurative speech here when he gives these details. For whatever it's worth, this guy agrees: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/41467-ghosts-of-the-great-highway


 * Phrases like "surprising lightness of spirit" and "impassioned, flexible vocal performance" read like a review and are not appropriate for Wikipedia. (This is a pretty mild case of inappropriate review-like tone, but since it's being discussed...)  Published reviews should be quoted and cited, but the article itself should not evaluate the work.
