Thanks Bert

I don't know if I agree with all or any the sentiments expressed in the songs but does that matter?

As a man happily married to a wonderful woman for over twenty five years I can't say that any of the thoughts expressed in those two songs are from my own direct experience.

I used my imagination to think what it would be like to be in those positions and wrote from that point of view. They were supposed to be fun. Surely we all sing songs that we don't have first hand knowledge of, or totally agree with the sentiments expressed.
