Location of "Don't Forget Me" gust of wind?
editThe NYTimes says it's there, somewhere near the end of "Don't Forget Me", but I just can't hear it.
Premier of new material
editregarding bumbershoot being the first time she played new songs -- i was at her concert in tarrytown on january 25, 2008, where she played "vengeance is sleeping", "prison girls", "don't forget me", "never turn your back on mother earth", "the pharaohs", "i'm an animal", and possibly a couple of other songs on middle cyclone... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.184.190 (talk) 00:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- Corrected diction to reflect that the material was only first widely publicized after said performance.96.247.176.26 (talk) 03:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

edit"The red-head takes aim at a monkey, a catalytic narrative event that triggers the video's dénouement."

Literal vs. autobiographical
edit"Although Case repeatedly asserted that the lyrical content of Middle Cyclone is literal in nature, critics predominantly interpreted the material as semi-autobiographical metaphor."
Seems to me that if something is literal, it is a true representation of something. Since the author seems to be juxtaposing literal and semi-autobiographical perhaps what was meant was literary. either way I'm not certain this sentence even belongs in the article.

- This sentence seems to be paraphrasing Case (who stated that her lyrics should be interpreted literally in many Middle Cyclone publicity interviews) and The New Yorker's review of the album (which disagrees, calling them semi-autobiographical metaphor). 128.118.153.79 (talk) 16:23, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- The juxtaposition is between "literal" content and "metaphorical" content, albeit metaphorical content that is "semi-autobiographical." Seems reasonable to me. Whether "critics predominantly interpreted the material" as metaphor is debatable though. Neilc (talk) 19:27, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
