March 8 - Read About Love

Today's song is a real gem in terms of funny lyrics. Richard Thompson has been a favorite of mine since Thomas Ekrene introduced me to him, and in 1991 he released the album Rumor and Sigh, produced by Mitchell Froom, who really was busy that year helping create several very good albums. Richard Thompson is a great guitar player, and while 1952 Vincent Black Lightning is the best known song on Rumor and Sigh - and possibly the best song as well, I have chosen Read About Love as the song of the day. I really like the humor in the frustrated boy/man trying to read his way to the secret of women's sexuality. What better way to recognize the international women's day? I will leave this without any further comment - just make sure you listen to the lyrics.
