A semi-autobiographical song by Harry Nilsson about boys abandoned by their fathers and how this happens from generation to generation.

[FairView]

I could do this all day.
Wait, I am doing this all day.

This song is a tribute to a young woman who was savagely attacked and beaten to death in England, but also a song for anyone who has ever felt different or ostracized...which is probably most of us at some point.

Don't remember seeing this one pop up yet.

 

[Bama fan]

"Here in the morning light I stand, a suitcase and a guitar in my hands......sitting in the airport bar, trying to look like a superstar...Denver, Oklahoma, San Antoine...another gig a long, long, way from home"......

Bruce Cockburn, “If I had a Rocket Launcher”.

Saw a YouTube cover of that by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings that was great. Not sure where the covers thread was... this belongs.

We just hosted a niece and her family, including their two- and a four-year-olds, for a couple of days. What a hoot! It gives me faith in the future. This afternoon this song was going through my head. My father, a huge Billie Holliday fan, loved this version from the time he heard it.

 

[Bigboote]

Been thinking of this one for awhile:
