Bill Demain interviews Sarah Mclachlan

What was the inspiration behind “Good Enough?”

A lot of things. That song has been such an amazing experience for me because I’ve learned so much from it. There’s so many different stories that I attach to it now. But it sort of came from, initially really missing my best girlfriend. It started out as fiction, about a couple in which the woman was pretty much alienated by just about everybody, because her husband was really abusive and domineering, which sort of somewhat mirrors my mother and father’s relationship. And basically, I am the friend coming in, saying hey, you deserve more than this, why don’t you come with me and I’ll take care of you. The video that I’m going to do for that song is the first sort of dramatic narrative that I’ve done. Everything else has been pretty abstract, trying to find a parallel universe to describe it differently. But we’re going to have a little girl, a man and woman, and a friend, possibly an imaginary friend. We’re going to look at the relationship between the little girl and her friends and also between the mother and the little girl. And there’s quite a bit of alienation from the father, who’s been behind the scenes the whole time anyway.

I think they’ll figure out really quickly how to deal with Obama…and it won’t be pretty. And they’ve got Griffin down in Arkansas preparing for a Hillary run. I’m for Edwards but will support (happily) any Dem candidate.
And you can see that they’re gearing up for an Edwards run, also (see the Stepanopoulous interview).

I don’t know if you caught my comments on this yesterday in the “Why Al Gore?” thread, but I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Just ask Harold “Call Me” Ford what they’ll do when crunch time comes in the election.

Hillary can’t win-too polarizing. If Gore doesn’t run Edwards would be my choice as well.

How many days do we have to suffer w/ this guy?
I emailed MSNBC w/ suggestions for hosts. He wasn’t on my list!

This jerk came from our neck of the woods, before getting airtime in Cali. Always been a right wing nutcase and, since he’s black (as I am) a useful tool to show the “universal appeal” of the right.

good morning. Just you and I are up, twofl? Are you watching the new MSNBC host? It’s Larry Elder who I had never heard of. Another extreme right-winger. Mocking those that demonstrated in LA last week. And putting out the theory that the protesters may have been throwing fozen bottles of urine at the cops.

Mornin’ solai. Looks like a couple others are awake too. I just turned on MSNBC so I can join in teh fun. Here’s Larry’s email if you felt so inclined to tell him what you think about him. sage AT larryelder DOT com
