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.

I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up: I’ll check it out.

John Prine - All the Best. About his divorce.

IMO one of the greatest songwriters ever.

If you’re not into him now you need to be.
