Letters I’ve written
Never meaning to send.

Probably one of the coolest rock bands

I always disliked that song, but Turn To Stone and Mr. Blue Sky are great!

I think your are confusing The Moody Blues and ELO. I don’t think they have anyone in common?

Yes both of them have a classical music element.

Always loved this song.
But I thought it was Knights in White Satin. How in the world could a night be in white satin?

Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day’s useless
Energy spent.

Were the bedsitters waiting for the knights?

Hold me closer (Tony Danza) was a sweet song.
He was one of the Friends, Rachel, Monica, Chandler and Tony.

Days of Future Passed was written for listening on LSD.

Then it makes perfect sense.

Song after this is “I’d Like to Get To Know You”, by Spanky and our Gang.
Met a man with great potential back in the day, but after I got to know him, he was definitely not for me.

Nice video. Confirms that all British 1960s pop stars look alike.

I always hated the song with a passion.

But after I read what Jimmy Webb said about the song, I stopped hating it and liked it. He was dating this girl Susie (Linda Ronstadt's sister or sister-in-law?) and he would go with her to the park for lunch everyday. I can't tell you how much I hated it - until I read the story.

I also hated that song Rooster by Aline in Chains, who I didn't like anyway. But then I read it was about his father in Vietnam, and how they tried to kill him.

“2nd worst song ever written….after McArthur Park.”

Worse than Starship’s “We Built this City”?

or

Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love”. He is a man who will fight for your honor afterall.

The album is a masterpiece. Lyrically, artfully, it describes a man’s lifetime.

I’m not sure I understand. You met a man you thought might have potential for marriage, but he turned out not to be the right fit. That reminds and that reminds you what Elaine “Spanky” McFarlane was talking about in that song?
