Oh my goodness gracious.

I’m sorry I read this thread and I hope I forget that you attached this song to her suicide!

Let me unattach it then. He had no way of knowing what would happen almost 50 years after he recorded it.

Attachment is a strong word. I drew a parallel. Is hearing the song today in light of what happened a momentary indictment of the Sexual Revolution? Worth thinking about.

People wonder why I am saddened by this. I taught in an art college and saw many brilliantly talented young women go this path, and some did not survive it, either having tragic career failures or tragic love lives. Surviving in the arts is a lot harder than mommies and daddies think when they send their girls off to art school.
