Helpless

So it turns out I'm a Neil Young fan and I didn't know it. I also happen to be a Leonard Cohen fan -- didn't know that either. I discovered both of these artists while listening to K.D. Lang's latest album "Hymns of the 49th Parallel." (I'm still not a K.D. Lang fan though..., at least nothing more than this one album).

I heard K.D.'s version of Neil Young's "Helpless" while driving the convertible from Cardston to Hillspring for this year's First of July celebration -- it may have been the open blue sky or the grain fields, or the wind blowing across my face, or all of them combined -- but I was hooked from the first stanza.

I think I've listened to the album at least a dozen times in the last two days...
