Paul Fusell wrote a book in 1975 called The Great War and Modern Memory-if I recall correctly, he theme was that it is essential to study and consider that war "how it happened" and not to cleanse it or repatriate it or whatever in light or dark of modern perspective. That said, I remember when American Pie came out and it was different tho in 2019 it sounds contrived and campy but so do episodes of MASH or say, the early Beatles. So, a reflective dose of "then and now" does wonders for the perspective-folks can hate the song, but have to recognize what it did. I feel the same way about Ronald Reagan today but he looks like a scholar compared to Trump.

to which I say: . . .fuck me that hurt like a needle in my eye . . .er . . . from the guy . . . in the sky . . . by the by . . . did you pick up my cleaning (dry)? Really, when I saw that he was auctioning those lyrics, it made more than a little ill. It reminds me of Jewel's book of poetry "a night without armor", something a 19 year old girl writes for her English professor she's got a crush on and he wearily has to read. And "Stairway to Heaven" is the same. Now I'm a big fan of Led Zep, including some of their more bombastic stuff, like Kashmir, but this is just terrible. Its not really rock, its what Bohemian Rhapsody would be if it were . . . if it weren't _good_ Quote:
just one man's opinion, and I know there's a world of folks who love these songs, all I can say is Quote:

What did you think of McLean's other 'hits' like 'Vincent' or 'Castles in the Air'?

You're damn right there. It's a painfully hacked-up loogie of stinking, acrid, absolute bile! One that readily became synonymous with all that was wrong across many genres of rock.
... And yet... just yet... without it we could never have had the classic Butthole Surfers' album title "Hairway to Steven"! & can we, in all consciousness, let that go.?

Silly album titles after Rush Of Blood. Although i do own that album and don't mind listening in small doses.
