Is it that, in drunkenness, the neat divisions we draw in the day time blur and confuse us? I'm not sure. It reminds me of a scene I once saw on television: A man feigned injury on a New York City street.

It can be the memory of an elder sibling whose departure from home left the first big hole in a child's heart (Only a Dream), or the appeal of North Carolina's rural landscape seen as "a blur from the driver's side" (I Am a Town). Even her least typical hit -- Down at the Twist and Shout, the Cajun-ragin' Grammy winner from her 1990 album, Shooting Straight in the Dark -- is a tribute to a place that no longer exists (a dance hall in Bethesda, Maryland...
