Jimmy C.- sad songs say so much. Nothing to kick yourself for. Though with your Smokey reference(I second...), I was attempting in my fantasy to hear it in the classic Motown vein, and had a difficult time. A short stroll to Hitsville, USA... Question: What the hell kinda genius was Berry Gordy, if only for his beautiful propaganda? The Sound of Young America! Who can get away with saying shit like that? Berry Gordy, that's who. But I'm gonna try it- I'm gonna start throwing it around. When somebody asks me what my band sounds like, instead of saying things like, "It sounds like what you would hear if you invited (Madman Across the Water era)Elton John and Gordon Gano to smoke a peace pipe on the banks of the mighty Big Creek, in the shadow of North Point Mall, if the only instruments they had were a Stevie Wonder fingertips-style chromatic harmonica, a funki-clav and a hammered dulcimer," I will just say, "It sounds like young America!" Because it does. I am Young America.
