Thread Name: Saccharine Overload (songs)
Subject: RE: Saccarine Overload
Just checked with the DT - "Patches" looked fair enough, given the right tune. I've never heard it so I couldn't say. Break out the autoharp and a few Carter Family harmonies and there's nothing in the words you couldn't live with.

I'm not saying there aren't any lousy songs, just that being extra sweet or extra sad aren't in themselves ground for saying a song is lousy. And there's a fair number of pretty good songs in here.

And did I see someone being disparaging about the House at Pooh Corner? That's fighting talk...
