[edit] "occasionally surprising lightness of spirit"

Last sentence of the third paragraph is a bit misleading regarding the song Glenn Tipton. I believe it is fairly obvious from the lyrics that the speaker of the song is a serial killer:

"I buried my first victim when I was nineteen

Went through her bedroom and the pockets of her jeans

And found her letters that said so many things

That really hurt me bad



I never breathed her name again

But I liked to dream about what could have been

I never heard her calls again

But I like to dream"

Therefore I don't believe the song should be included as an example of "lightness of spirit", although the song does sound nice.

I always thought that was metaphorical —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.76.75 (talk) 20:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

What would it be metaphorical of? I don't believe Kozelek is using figurative speech here when he gives these details. For whatever it's worth, this guy agrees: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/41467-ghosts-of-the-great-highway
