Lucille

I can remember 1977 when this song came out.  It is still one of the saddest ones I know (and I wasn’t a farmer back then!)  Lucille may be eclipsed by Elvis Presley singing, “In the Ghetto.”    Oh wait, then there’s Bobby Goldsboro’s song, “Honey” where the wife died and he sings about how he misses her.  A sad song list must include Kris Kristoferson’s , “Sunday Morning Coming Down”  followed up by Johnny Cash singing, “We’ll Meet Again.”   –Whitney Houston’s, “I Will Always Love You” still tears me up.

Where are have all the great song writer, story tellers, and poets gone? 

On the flip side, I can be hip, too.  I think “Lose Yourself” by Eminem is brilliant.  Whatever the genre…I’m putting the word up and out on this web, this invisible cloud, to artists here and now:  we need real songs, real content again.  P R E T T Y  P L E A S E
