Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life

Poet. Songwriter. Singer. If you lived in the 60's and 70's you knew this guy.

Even if you never saw this:

youtu.be

I know you have to hsve heard this:

youtu.be

I think at one point one of the best selling singles of the 70's

Songs like this make me want to go back in time and stay there.

I had a hippy girlfriend in 1966 who thought Rod McKuen walked on water. On my 21st birthday she baked me a cake. My roommate said," now you can have your cake and eat it, too."

Clubber,no, no, your examples are horrible indeed. I'm corny for some songs. "Brown Eyed Girl" is another.
