"Anna Lee, the Healer"
Yester-day, I bought Wake the World: The Friends Sessions, one of the digital-only albums of session outtakes and alternate versions. I listened to it a second time this morning and noticed a small feature in "Anna Lee, the Healer." The lines "From the Himalayan mountainside up in Rishikesh / To a California beach house facin' towards the sea" contain a merism - a rhetorical device that gives a sense of breadth by naming two specific points along a range.
