I found this on the Poets thread. It's an old favorite that I hadn't thought of in a long time...

God Will
Lyle Lovett

Who keeps on trusting you
When you've been cheating
And spending your nights on the town
And who keeps on saying that he still wants you
When you're through running around
And who keeps on loving you
When you've been lying
Saying things ain't what they seem
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

So who says he'll forgive you
And says that he'll miss you
And dream of your sweet memory
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

Neocon -- you were a Marshall at the age of 15?? Or even 16?? Or are you lying about your age, you naughty thing?

As I said in my post to nihil, these things are all subjective. For example, I of course know that the Civil Rights movement began with the Montgomery bus boycott in the 50's, but I think of the movement as a whole as ultimately a 60's phenomenon, because that is how I "felt" it...

Never liked rock, incidentally. So I did not find THAT development exciting. Never liked pop music, either (Sinatra made me puke). I was (and am) a classical freak. Beyond that, all I could tolerate was blues, some traditional jazz (New Orleans), & genuine folk music. And I will say that I regard the over-all degeneration of musical taste in subsequent decades as deplorable. On this point, I am as reactionary a curmudgeon as anyone might hope for.
