I celebrated the milenium at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco listening to Super Diamond. Last night, G had a date with T and I went over to have cocktails with them at G’s house. After a martini, we put on Neil Diamond’s Kentucky Woman and I don’t know – we just started dancing. Girl, you’ll be a woman now. Cracklin Rosie. And then Bonnie Raitt came own singing “I can’t make you love me,” and G said “wait, wait, we have to hear this,” – she played it over and over and then she brought the laptop in the kitchen and turned it really loud and we three huddled by the kitchen table and listened to every word:<\/p>\n
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
\nTurn down these voices inside my head
\nLay down with me, tell me no lies
\nJust hold me close, don’t patronize – don’t patronize me<\/p>\n
Chorus: cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
\nYou can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
\nHere in the dark, in these lonely hours
\nI will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
\nBut you won’t, no you won’t
\ncause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t<\/p>\n
I’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see
\nThe love you don’t feel when you’re holding me
\nMorning will come and I’ll do what’s right
\nJust give me till then to give up this fight
\nAnd I will give up this fight<\/p>\n
Chorus: cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
\nYou can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
\nHere in the dark, in these lonely hours
\nI will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
\nBut you won’t, no you won’t
\ncause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
