Good and interesting points.

I write:

I think her song subjects have gone along with her age, sort of, with
exceptions, and not necessarily all directly from her experiences, so I
would guess that at 55 she might be writing about children leaving home,
partners leaving for younger partners, life winding down, etc. or whatever.
Which is all fine by me being just 4 years younger than Kate, I will
be able to relate to/understand these things better, just as I find and
have found much of her lyrics to date being able to relate to/understand,
if you know what I mean?

KB quote:	I'm feeling like a waltz growing old.
AC quote:	Can't wear her out, she can't grow old.

What say you good people?
Guilty, guilty, well, not guilty actually - in reference to OJ Simpson
