  most people remember the song vincent (starry, starry night), don mcleans tribute to vincent van gogh.

  (mclean's original manuscript to that song is buried in a time capsule beneath the van gogh museum in amsterdam.

  one of my favorite songwriters is chip taylor, jon voight's younger brother who is best known for writing the songs wild thing and angel of the morning.

  chip wrote a gorgeous song called could i live with this which, i feel, epitomizes the whole group-think dilemma faced by jws.

  i have printed the lyrics below, and shared a youtube link to a performance of the song by chip and lucinda williams.
