I like that a lot.
But this is still the greatest Country song:

Yes that’s how the author appears to write. Good observation.
I needs an upgrade to be the Windmill Repairman.
Speaking of New Morning, there are some really great songs on that album. It’s one of favorite Dylan albums.
It was always the descending figure just before “is still on the line” that got to me, like it does to Kristofferson in that clip.
Neither Lee Dorsey, who scored a big hit with Working in a Coal Mine, nor the song's writer, Alain Toussaint ever worked in a coal mine.
Reads like pretentious liner notes from the 60s or 70s.
I used to think Galveston was a Vietnam War song, but it is about a young man fighting in the Spanish-American war in Cuba and remembering his girlfriend in Galveston. Wondering if he would survive the war and, if he returned, would his girlfriend be waiting for him.
Yeah, Kris’ reactions during that taping spoke for themselves.
The greatest song ever written was “I wanna be sedated” by the Ramones. It’s pure poetry.
A great song, great on every level. Jimmy Webb gave us so much.
Oh that’s a great one.
My pick is George Jones The Grand Tour.
But there’s too many great songs to choose from....
LOL Definitely a fun song…especially in a bar, with everybody boozily and loudly singing along.
“Let me, let me, let me….!”
Yes, I love this song BUT ...
As a technologist, the stanza that goes “Searching in the Sun for another overload” is a, at best, something that rhymes!
Still, as composed by the genius of Jimmy Webb and performed by the late GREAT Glen Campbell, how can one let that minor error break our enjoyment!
Fiber Optic Lineman just doesn’t cut it, either.
When I drive around the west, I sometimes see the old phone line crossbars fallen down. Each had a hundred lines strung on them with old glass insulators. All that replaced with one hair-like strand of optical glass fiber. Fiber optic lines are either underground in conduits or on top of electric transmission towers.
The poor Lineman never had a chance with all these technology changes.
The “Starlink Satellite Man”? Nah. Nobody can run that fast.
Things just aren’t the same.
Besides, it would have to be the “Wichita Line Non-binary Cisgender Questioning Person.”
yep
That’s nice - I didn’t remember it.
Great voice.
“Fiber Optic Lineman just doesn’t cut it, either.”
LOL!
