When i knew Mickey in Nashville ca. 1969-71, he wrote for Moss-Rose and I wrote for Glazer Bros. music. We would help each other with titles and hooks. Last week I was talking with a good friend who was describing a marriage break up that had not happened yet. And as I studied how Mick would write the hook I came up with "You wish I was Here . . . Somewhere Else!" And then from Jubal Lee's Revival Mick wrote "I put more on her back than her clothes!" And from St. Cecelia "Her kindness (not exactly correct) is her virtue, but her SINS are EMPTYNESS." Goodness, what insight, compassion, understanding and empathy he had. So much more than the rest of us.
