What is your favorite song that actually tells a story?

Posted on 04/22/2022 3:56:36 PM PDT by Beowulf9

I admit I saw this elsewhere but I thought it might be a good thing to put here because honestly I look and listen to songs people post. I am always entertained and it opens my mind to many different avenues of musical tastes I have not known before. I hope ones like this column.

Rooster is great! Nutshell is my favorite but it's so very dark.

Arlo Guthrie lives down the road from me. It's not unusual to see him around town and although I'm not into his music, he's a very down to earth and friendly guy.
