Thread Name: Real story of Vin Garbutt & Cambridge
Subject: RE: Real story of Vin Garbutt & Cambridge
No one's addressed my point. If Vin had written the song from a man's point of view would these criticisms be valid? There's always another side to any issue. I have always supported a woman's right to choose but I can't tell you of the emotional turmoil I went through when I found out my first grandchild had been aborted because the pregnancy was inconvenient at that time. I had to examine my beliefs very carefully when the turmoil eased. The head says yes, the heart says no. As a songwriter myself I decided very quickly that this was not a suitable subject for a song. Why? Because there was too much to say in an art form that is based on being concise. Three or four minutes could never be enough.
