Jackson Browne is, I think, soft rock, and Knoppfler is rock, but I think Cat Stevens was ordinarily classified as folk. "Tea for the Tillerman" may have been the first album I bought for myself, I can't remember with certainty. I used to do a pretty good vocal impression of Cat Stevens, singing mainly songs off of that album. A friend who was a pretty good guitarist asked me to come and sing some of Stevens songs as a project for an English class, one of those "poetry of rock" sections.

I most favored Neil Young out of the four (remember Crazy Horse? "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere"? "Cinnamon Girl"....), but they were all good. You might like this:

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
by Graham Nash

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

I LOVE Bob Marley

I've been a big Reggae fan since high school; if I had to choose a religion I would probably be a Rastafarian. At least I could smoke grass if I wanted to, and claim it as a violation of religious freedom if I got busted.

Reggae is infinitely superior, in my view at least, to the dreary monotonies of Anglo-Saxon protest songs. At least the Jamaicans knew how to make protest fun.

My daughter's absolute favorite song is Jimmy Cliff's You Can Get It If You Really Want, from the soundtrack of The Harder They Come (a great movie). She will dance to it until I can take no more; her friends, who admire Britney Spears, think she's odd, but she knows what she likes.

There is no need for anybody to post the lyrics, I could sing it in my sleep.
