Then the waters of this great river will be free to run and leap again. In time, a new guard of fresh faces will lounge upon its banks, underneath its bright crimson boughs, and bask by its shimmering sheets...

Also included are familiar tunes from recent times: "Are You Gonna Go My Way," "American Woman" and the broken-record-like "Fly Away...

In Bagger Vance, as a steel magnolia rekindling sparks with the lover who once abandoned her (Damon), she bites bravely into the hammiest of lines--"Now I'm supposed to run inta ya ahms and melt like buttah on a hot muffin?"--and chews so deftly that she avoids choking...
