Inspired by Bonnie Raitt


“There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late '60s in Cambridge. The ratio of guys to girls at Harvard was four to one, so all of those things were playing in my mind.” ~Bonnie Raitt

Although John Prine is the original song writer of Angel from Montgomery, this has always been my favorite Bonnie Raitt song. There's a few lines in here that, like good lyrics do, continue to sit in my head:

If dreams were thunder and lightning were desire
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago

also

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
and come home in the evening to have nothing to say
