Lost Gem: "Hitting You" - Loudon Wainwright III (1992)
"All we do is argue like two people who are through." ~ Loudon Wainwright III ~ North Carolinian... Loudon Wainwright III ...may bring to mind his novelty song... "Dead Skunk" (1972) or his bit part playing Captain Spalding on TV's "Mash "(1975). But this singer/songwriter has been crafting songs forever. I haven't followed this tongue-wagging troubadour too closely over the seasons...however, 1992 saw him release "History" . Considered his masterpiece...he purges the past very close to the bone... never soft-soaping the ugly parts . "History" is a absolutely must-own! Lost Gem:--> "Hitting You" ...is as honest a confession as you'll likely to hear. Painful and heartbreaking in the understanding...that there are seldom, if ever, any take-backs or do-overs ......................not really. Have you heard this gem?
