[78-L] Wild Waves

[Taylor Bowie]

I now realize that "Fair and Warmer" is a direct slam on  women in menopause 
having hot flashes...

"I'm Following You"  is clearly about a stalker ("Wherever you go...whatever 
you do...I want you to know...I'm following you"  Scary!).

"You're Driving Me Crazy" makes fun of mental illness.

"Little Girl" and "Oh, Baby"...just variants of kiddie porn.

If someone is determined to be offended,  they will find a way.  Let us be 
of good cheer and try to avoid all the judgmental pitfalls through which we 
demonize others.

It's not my intent to start a thread of misinterpretations of song lyrics, 
as I know any of us could come up with a hundred of them in an instant...not 
to belabor, but my point is that almost anything can be twisted around if 
there is someone anxious to do the twisting.  Let's use our energy for 
something more constructive.

Taylor B
