Songs about humanity

From one of my favorite artists. His music touches in many ways.

 
An old Doobie offering . Look at the group of musicians assembled here!

 
Here's one from Steely Dan on the generation gap issue! They are ,imo, the most accomplished, carefully crafted, cleverly engineered group of musicians. This one is great, but the recording of Peg is a story unto itself.

Another good one commenting on the human condition. Janice Ian's "Society's Child."



Can't believe I missed posting that. The incredible thing is that she was 15 when she recorded it. I saw an interview with her in which she said that prior to the recording session they asked her what she'd need. She had no idea wha they meant (she was 15 and raised on a commune), and when they clarified what instruments, she blurted out "a harpsichord." In the interview she said she'd said that because she thought she'd never be able to play one again.
