    DERON! Did. You. Know . . . how I love this song? So damn beautiful. And so motherfucking terrible.

    Sheila, I didn’t, but yes.

    I think that maybe early on I might have referred to this in a cluster-comment, but I’m honestly not sure. No matter. Song fucking tears me up.

    I can’t imagine hearing that voice in person, up close.

    Deron, there is a short film I have in my head of Blind Willie Johnson and his common-law wife singing — not this song, but another — and it is so beautiful I can’t imagine anyone could film what is in my head.

    I would if I could.

    Mebbe you can.

    Deron, next time I’m down Dallas way, I’ll dance down y’all’s street singing “If I Had My Way, I’d Tear that Building Down,” and you can film me if you want.

    You said it, Anus.

  13. Sheila Ryan on September 25th, 2010 at 5:53 pm

    Maybe I go down go dance between the rows of cornstalks.

  14. Deron Bauman on September 25th, 2010 at 6:16 pm

    We are getting all historical without we even know.

    Also: I am repeating myself. But I least I am aware of it. So far.
