I was in an Ace Hardware on Friday last week. One of the songs played was “Blue Sky” by the Allman Brothers. That’s one of the most “seventiesist” songs out there.

In songs of the past males were often drifters, moving on, just passing through your (female) life, hard to hold onto, averse to stopping or settling down.

I doubt that would apply to enough current young males for such songs to make sense anymore.

I tend more towards Blue Skies (Irving Berlin, 1940s I think).
