3:00 AM: “Sweet Jane” is playing — the “Cowboy Junkies”:http://www.cowboyjunkies.com/ version, of course — and Ella’s asleep at last. She _was_ screaming her little head off not too long ago, but I’ve already forgotten.

She also did pretty well with Natalie Merchant. I have a new appreciation for mellow music. For someone who’s been obsessing over Pavement and The White Stripes recently, this’ll be quite a shift.

UPDATE: Jim Henley has a “low opinion”:http://www.highclearing.com/archivesuo/week_2003_12_07.html#004780 of the Junkies’ “Sweet Jane.” For shame.
