Gosh - a TR backlash on his concept record.
Well, I found it inventive and exhilerating and a piece of patriotic
songwriting that moves my spine that I truly can compare with Woodie Guthrie.
Maybe folks out there get tired of verse after verse of So Long It's Been
Good to Know ya, but I don't. Maybe the wonderful display of Irish ,
Norwegian, and Cowboyish folk tunes aint twangy enough for y'all, but I'm
enthralled.
But I guess everyone's into disposable music that can prick up your ears
at a moment's notice and then be thrown away until the next record with a
good riff comes out.
To each his or her own.
Keep Dancing,
