More Water

["Sigel, James J" <james.sigel@xxxxxx>]

I know we hit a couple songs from the album, but has anyone noted how
prolific the water/river references are in Pete's "All the Best
Cowboys"?

1.  Stop Hurting People - "...the truth confronts you as the sea,
crushing without detail..."
2.  The Sea Refuses No River - A few vague references to H20?
3.  Exquisitely Bored - "...walking in Laguna (beach)."
4.  Communication - "...use the words like flowing river touches."
5.  North Country Girl - "...she washes clothes where the river
bends..."
6.  Somebody Saved Me - "It always rains in Sunnyside Grove."  "...'til
the rain looked just like snow."

I betcha there are a few more, but these are the ones I could think of
off the top of me head.  I remember an interview (MTV?) with Pete when
Cowboys came out, and I recall him saying that there was a lot of
water/river references throughout the album because for him, water meant
a sort of purification, and this was around the time Pete sobered
himself up.  Damn, I forgot about that stuff.  Good game Scott, weeks
later and the water references are...well, still POURING in.
