One of my favorite Loudon songs, but I haven't been able to figure out what he means by "the bigger the front, the bigger the back". Any suggestions out there?...
I'd always thought that he meant that the bigger the front that one puts up, the more that it'll get the back up of the other. ... One of my favorite Loudon...
That's a lovely poetic reading of it. I always took it to mean if you construct an artifice or a wall (4' x 10'?) in a relationship, there will always be that...
I thought of it in terms of the rest of the song lyrics as "front" & "back" in a sense of generations. Thus, the more I hate my father, the more my son will...
I'm mostly with John. I think that it is to do with the bigger the front put up the bigger the retreat when that person realises that they were wrong. Maybe it...
I noticed another of the 7 Universal Principles of the Infinite Universe (in addition to "The bigger the front, the bigger the back") is also in that same...
The Mysticism website is kind of the way I saw it because the full line is Hate is a strong word I want to backtrack The bigger the front, the bigger the back ...

What a relief. I thought I was the only one who didn't understand that line. Mind you. If Loudon were net-savvy, we would have our answer by now. Perhaps he...

"So, two things: 1. Which other fan lists of this type do Loudon fans subscribe to?" Since you ask, just this list and a Bolton Wanderers Football Club one. As...
This is what the words have meant to me as well. The bigger the front, or problem, obstacle, etc., the more complexity is found behind it. The more history,...

One of my favorite things about that line is its ambiguity, which adds to the beauty. In a way, I'm glad not to know Loudon's vision of the line. He leaves it...

Hi all, In response to Dave Nick's observation about the potential for an 'interactive' list, I have to say I am in agreement. As a fellow Ron Sexsmith lister,...
... Besides a few general folky groups, I also check in at HPforGrownups, a Harry Potter group. Now this is a big, busy group: 13,000+ members, more posts in...
Musicians who I really enjoy and who I think Loudon would appreciate as a fellow singer songwriter are: Tom T Hall, Kevin Coyne, Dick Gaughan, Eric Bogle, and...

Ron, I'm wondering how the President's Day download is doing. What's been the response? Have you gotten positive/negative feedback? How many downloads have...
(forgot to add this in) I'm also curious about how it was arranged to have the download on your site. Did Loudon come to you directly? Any cool discussions ...
