Sorry, I meant to look up the songwriters! Thanks for giving credit where credit is due.

(Actually, my very favorite part of that song isn't the words, but the poignant series of piano arpeggios at the very end, which arrogant California radio DJs often talk right over. But I can't make them love it if they don't.)

BTW, have a listen to Alison Krauss doing Graceland. Here, starting at 5:50.
Oooh, to the accompaniment of a National guitar, too! (Or at least a dobro.) Thanks.
