Ya know Guys, while I mught even tend to agree with you about a "Lightfoot Song," it's way too common for a lot of songwriters to fall into that and I agree that Fitz was a departure and for me, very haunting, very foreboding...you can hear the storm.As far as the it's a "So and So Song"..........Lightfoot and everyone else is way behind and cannot hold a candle to James Taylor. You can sing the lyrics to "Fire and Rain" to ANY of JT's songs. Arlo once was talking about a song he wrote which sounded like a JT song and he realized that he wrote it whilr the two of them were living together in either London or Paris...don't remember which.
