Spaw had a fake feud going with me over the David Bowie song "Space Oddity". Every chance he got he would attack that song and its main protagonist, Major Tom, in a totally outrageous and unfair manner. It' actually a great song. Why he chose to do this I don't know, except I guess he got a few laughs out of it. My reaction was to mention the song frequently, just to see if he'd go after it again, and he always did.

Then I discovered that Spaw had a very low opinion of the song "McArthur Park" (heaven knows why...), so I started praising "McArthur Park" to the skies as a brilliant piece of musical metaphor whenever I could. That was fun. I will probably always defend "McArthur Park" on Mudcat, and Spaw is responsible.

And so it goes...
