Have you got any criticisms, Jon?
Ha ha. Do I ever?  I didn't meant that as sarcastic as it sounded.  I'm gonna 
just enjoy for a while that fact that these are not duds.  They are the kind 
of songs that will hold up and last for ages.  They're not gimmicky or poppy 
or cheap.  I don't sense that Pete is trying to sound like anything.  It is 
just wonderful melodies that pour out deep meaningful feelings.

In RGLB you can sense the excitement of youth being quenched by the opinion 
of the shallow embarrassed elder -the one that should have been giving him 
love.  He saw a good looking face and felt good about himself when he looked at 
himself in the mirror. -Until he was told otherwise.  This prepared him for a 
life of finding out the truth about himself.  He met someone who didn't care 
about his "ugly" face. Then something came from above that made it all 
irrelevant.  God's grace.  This is something given without earning it.  We just receive 
it. It is a gift. Not a reward. This is *true* love. Sweet sweet sweet love.  
This made him feel like the good looking boy that he really was inside.  God's 
opinion canceled out the shameful label that he wore his whole life.  How 
wonderful.  

I'm up Lela!
