The finest Country and Western Song every written!

That honor goes to Bob Dylan, who wrote Lay Lady Lay!

Good stuff.

A bar when I was in college used to play it all the time. I didn't hang out there but my husband did. He said everyone would slamm their beer mugs on the bar/table. Good times.

My dad used to play that song in the car when I was a kid on his cassette player (one of the first installed by GM in the Riviera).

Funny thing is, I always pictured Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford singing that song.

I only saw the video. I was too young in the early 1970s for concerts. Saw Tull in the 1980s. Awesome baby!

Harry Chapin was a fellow Lawn Guyland boy. He shouldn't have taken his VW Rabbit on the LIE that day.

Taxi is one of my favorite songs. Another one I remember dad playing in the car.

Can't believe we got to post 674 without Bob Dylan being mentioned...but then again he was 60s/70s, rather.

Speaking of which, ANYONE REMEMBER JANICE IAN?

Society's Child?
