"Dizzy," "Young Girl," "Honey" the and "Abraham, Martin and John" are unlistenable junk. Richard Harris' "MacArthur Park" is one of my guilty pleasure songs, though.

I hope you archived all your Valentine family memoirs! And what will you dump Ulysses on now??
AGREED that "Honey" is a contenderso depressing and he doesn't even say what takes Honey away (though one can assume it's terminal cancer from the nature of the song)

I always thought she put Midol in the rat traps and took strychnine for her cramps. I mean, he said she was "kinda dumb and kinda smart"

Memoirs. Saved them to a disc I can`t open after I printed them up in three volumes. "Trish Smith" borrowed Vol. 1 and promptly lost it.

I only know or remember by title about half of the 1968 tunes. All of the ones I remember I like. There are a couple where without relistening to them I would have guessed I didn't like so much, but I listened to both recently and changed my opinion on both. Those two are Ohio Express' "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and Mason Williams' "Classical Gas".
