Oh, I never wanted anyone to see "Cowboy" as a constructed reality - no it is just how I see the character of Angel - and I like your phrase "playful exploration of a metaphor" - that works for me. I constructed the story about the man-ho's to keep myself focused on the first part of the vids. It was a private story. That I have now shared. Eeep.
I think I am going to have to agree with you about the continuum -- and I think you are right about P&L being sufficiently vague - just not vague enough... I'm blocked on the guilt of Lefty. If I could figure that out...
I'm just stuck on the idea of lyric specificity right now. Almost like a broken record. It is the KMart in my Rainman brain. I think it is because I've been listening to "Tangled Up In Blue" every morning for weeks now and everytime I think that this song is not viddable, but gee, I sure would like to vid it. Then I get caught up in Gender Specificity and then specificity in general and then I think about P&L. So it really isn't that I can't reimagine A/S as P/L -- I just can't make Spike into Lefty. Almost. But not quite.
