Roseanne Cash Zechurah LeTovah

Since arriving here
I've become more aware
of her non-tzanuah dress
liberal world view
(non-Jewish essence)
maybe that's why
I've ignored her CD
I brought with me
planned to play as
I walked the city
still I can't help
think about how
right on she is
in her song on
her three visits
here as a child
the impact she
carried thirty years
till she broke down
into words , words
about G-d's fall about
feeling anything
at all
at this unique
time and space
The Western Wall

someone recently asked me about the German guy who leaves comments that are just a word or two from what i posted with a queston mark tacked at the end.

what can i tell you? roseanne has a liberal world view (i first had secular, but decided that was less acurate, less fair). i put the other line in parenthetically. when i recently heard roseanne at a live interview at the 92 ST Y she said something like, "here i was a catholic girl and for some reason at that time as a kid my parents brought me to israel 3 times, and there i was feeling something at this wall, that it took me 30 years to figure out..."

Heh, cool. I'm just asking "what did you mean by that", in this case, "are you saying that a liberal world-view is non-Jewish?"
