Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Horse with No Name (from America)
Subject: RE: Desert-Horse-Name
The chief difference between America and Neil Young, then, is that America could sing. It's not painful to listen to "Ventura Highway" 30 years later, whereas just being in the same room with a copy of "I Don't Want to Fade Away" has been known to cause sane people to chew their own feet off at the ankle if by so doing they can prevent the song from being put on the phonograph and played.

I say what the hell is wrong with nonsense? Gawd, people worship Dylan who writes 99% nonsense, but let some soft-rock trio try to do the same (and they did it very successfully, too) and all of a sudden the heavy guns come out. Whatta buncha whingers.

Not opinionated or anything,
Alex
