How I miss AM radio!

It allowed a WIDE spectrum of music to become hits.

Not to mention it gave us El Rushbo.

I thought of those lines of poles also.

Being ruined by wind turbines. No good song in that!

On the other hand, a close analysis of the lyrics of “Wichita Lineman” should indicate that the song is most likely about drug addiction.

Yes. The piano S.O.S., the line “I want you more than need you; and I want you for all time.” Good observation. You can come out of the corner now if you play nice.
