No Place Like Home

Liner Notes by Stuart Adamson (1996 remasters)
No Place Like Home remaster cover
It was all too much for Dorothy. Too much for anyone really. She was in a world of hurt. Toto was rabid, the Tin Man was all out of trees and the lion was making big bucks at Disney. Meanwhile the Witch of the West had gone off with the Scarecrow to law school and Aunt Em was waiting tables at Buffy's Burlesque ("Best Breasts West of the River."). Kansas just wasn't Kansas any longer.

A lot of people tried to help her. Some of them were smart and some of them were strong and some were really only trying to help themselves. She was just about all helped out. She had gone through three pairs of ruby slippers, clicking those heels like a barroom door in the dustbowl. What she really needed was that tornado to come along and just blow the heck out of everything. Smack that old house somewhere brand new and take it from there.

Deep down inside though, in the small of the night, she knew it wasn't Kansas or all that other stuff, it was just Dorothy and that no matter where she went or what she did, that's how it would always be and, most times, that would be just about fine.
