Hi Hartmut,

Precisely and instantaneously correct ("Famous Blue Raincoat").

Is he a poet? A procrastinator? A prophet? A fashonista? A herdsman? An athlete?

Hi Hartmut,

"Going Home" mentions those roles. Btw, seeing your question reminded me at first of Kris Krisofferson's
song "The Pilgrim."

You're right again.

I was thinking of Kris K. as well.

Hi,

As a boy, on two evenings every year, L.C. likely commemorated something that is
said to have taken place a long time ago. Lyrics connected to the commemoration
are contained in one of his songs. Please name the song.

Hi Hartmut,

Hint: a Jewish holiday.

Yes, I suspected that it was about a religious holiday. But that's about as far a I got.

Hm ... Maybe you're talking about "Who by Fire" - because of its connections to Rosh Hashanah and Jom Kippur.

Hi Hartmut,

"Born In Chains" is correct: I was born in chains / But I was taken out of Egypt.

Hi,

The New Testament reports something specific that was done to Jesus when he was on
the cross. The same thing happens (not literally) to a song character (not Jesus, not in
a crucifixion, and in what could be a different time altogether). Please name the song.
