Somebody asked me, "Can there be too much emotion?" Heavens no! It fuels every great thing ever done. Make no mistake what it can accomplish. "Hey!" shouts Conway Twitty, beginning that great C&W classic, "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man." Lo-retta Lynn joins right in, every bit his equal, "Louisiana woman, Mississippi man, we get together every time we can, The Mississippi River can’t keep us apart." Then Conway, "There’s too much love in this Mississippi heart," then Loretta, "Too much love in this Louisiana heart." Brain stem? Limbic brain? Yes! And isn’t it grand? Someone’s about to do something impossible. Obstacles will need to be overcome. There could be problems, oh yes, because, sings that Mississippi man: See the alligator all a- waiting’ nearby Sooner or later, they know I’m going to try When she wave from the bank don’t you know I know It’s a-goodbye fishing’ line, see you while ago. With a Louisiana woman waiting on the other side The Mississippi River don’t look so wide. Don’t you love that "goodbye fishing’ line, see you while ago"? What will propel him forward on this dangerous mission? Don’t underestimate that "waveform the bank." The chorus comes in every time to remind us - CHORUS: Louisiana woman, Mississippi man, We get together ever time we can The Mississippi River can’t keep us apart There’s too much love in this Mississippi heart Too much love in this Louisiana heart. The greatest love songs are duets; the matching strength of the two voices, the synergy. Doh? But what if he doesn’t have the nerve? She won’t be stopped. She'll do it. Read on: Well I thought I’d been loved But I never had Till I was wrapped in the arms of A Mississippi man When he holds me close it feels almost Like another hurricane just ripped the Coast. If he can’t come to me, I’m a-going to go to him, That Mississippi River, lawd I’m going to swim. Ya got to hear Lo-retta ay "herricane." Passion " from whence cometh courage. She’ll do it if he won’t. But still he hesitates" HE SAYS: Well the Mississippi River, lawd it’s one mile wideband I’m going to get me to the other side SHE SAYS: Mississippi man I’m a-losing’ my Mendota have your loving’ one more time HE SAYS: I’m going to jump in the River And a-here I go Too bad alligator, ya swam too slow. How sweet is that? Metaphysically, the male is the passive energy. The female lights the fire and activates it. By the end, Conway’s yelling, "Hey-y-y-!" There he goes. Too bad alligators. They will always swim too slowly! And BTW, it will always feel like a hurricane ripping through your Coast, and you’ll always fear you’re going to write bad checks. Fear is excitement turned upside down. Passion is the only thing that energizes. It’s the only way anything great ever happens, and it’s the batsman reason in the world to get up in the morning!
