If you give up all pretense to taste, even to proportion even, sometimes you come out the back side across the boundaries into something good despite itself. So it is with the "Ballroom Streets" version of "Ruby Tuesday." Don't ask awkward questions, don't fight it, just go with it, and you'll be better prepared for the unexpected from then on. And do recognize that Melanie has a special dispensation from the Pope or something-- she pulls unforgiveable lapses in taste four or five times an album-- and always seems to get away with it, if not exactly make it work...

"If you go far enough away/You'll be on your way back home." (Tom Waits)

I loved this Album. Melanie was of her time I guess and I was into the singer songwriter phase I guess I still am.

Dylan and yes Melanie
