"The Rogers song tells a story that has appeared on police blotters all over the country. Anger, drink and a woman end in killing." -

Okay - but for that sort of thing, I prefer something along the lines of the old Jimmy Buffett song:


It was a Cuban Crime of Passion,
Messy and old-fashion';

I was hoping someone would reveal something in Harris, etc., that I had missed, or offer some way of looking at it that would change my feeling about it, but I guess that ain't gonna happen. Maybe it really does just come down to a matter of taste ...

I might come back to comment on a few other things that have come up, if I have time.

Art: I think you're right about Stan's 'personal protest songs' ... I think that was always my sense regarding this song - but I questioned the need to protest whatever it is exactly he is protesting here ...

Later, gang!
