I really liked Kalhoun from the moment I hit "play." The standouts for me are "Big, Warm, Sweet Interior Glowing," "Gloryhound," and "I Will Return." A lot of great lines in those with wonderful music. "If You Want To" and "Gate of the World" rank up there too.

These days more than ever I think of the line "I love you, honey, but you're bound to vanish / In some fiery desperation."

Thanks for clarifying. The weird thing is that what you posted for liner notes somehow seemed familiar. I had read those on this site before, but my brain had a momentary lapse of recall!

My vote would be that it is neither. One could argue that it is idiomatic, but folks here say "not hard to miss" all the time.

I've heard the phrase "not hard to miss" all my life. I couldn't figure out what the fuss was all about and why it was so hard for some folks to 'get'.

I don't know if it was intended, but everything preceding it indicates Terry means Christ is everywhere, omnipresent in the needy, hungry and homeless because "I am the least of these and so as you've done unto them, you've done unto Me". You can't miss Him because He's all over the place. Unfortunately, he meant "hard to miss" and inferred "easy to miss".

Same as a lot of people who say "I could care less" meaning "I could not care less".

Dunphy, you read my question right - the highlighted phrase, taken at face value, meant one thing, while everything that followed seemed to contradict that meaning. (I'm not certain Terry wrote those notes so I won't blame him - yet!!) I understand what the phrase means by itself, but in the context in which it was presented it didn't make much logical sense. So I was pondering: Was this just a mistake (not a terribly hard one to make, really), or was something deeper being said - "He's easy to miss, because He's everywhere and thus easily overlooked"?

Really, I just like pointing out other people's dumb mistakes. Carry on. Tongue

An example of the proper usage of the phrase "not hard to miss":

"It's not hard to miss the exit off the freeway to get to my house, because the only sign pointing to it is obscured by a bit of shrubbery."

Observe that this is NOT how the phrase was used in the aforementioned notes. That really was my only point. I was nitpicking, and I'm sorry.

Does anyone know if there's any significance to the text on the cover?

You forgot to modify the dangling qualifying noun with the

I agree with this assessment, except I think its phrased as intended. He is everywhere except where people are generally looking. Our focus is usually on politicians, the famous, the wealthy... we generally forget about those less fortunate. The least of these are often overlooked by society... They are not hard to miss. If they were hard to miss then there wouldn't be an issue. I think its intended to mean mankind is generally so blind we miss noticing what is everywhere, we miss noticing what we are supposed to notice. And in fact we are bombarded with the opposite, the wealthy, the politicians, the famous.

The least of these are everywhere but overlooked by society. American Idol is hard to miss, the culture is saturated with it. The poor on the street, the hungry child is not hard to miss.

This perception also plays well into the concept of the album itself.. we can as a society get caught up in the next 'ism' Kalhoun! and overlook the needy.
