If I hear Cable Tee Vee playing "Take Me Home, Country Roads" ONCE MORE I'm going to become homicidal...I know the DC songwriters who wrote that tune and others "I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado" - so would I right now with no TV - for John Denver. Bill Danoff, nice Jewish boy, and his then-wife Taffy backed up Denver as "Fat City" and later had a 1976 with "Afternoon Delight" in their next life as the "Starland Vocal Band."
The Massachusetts good ol' boy and Georgetown University graduate reinvented himself again as a popular DC restauranteur. "The Starland Cafe" closed after a 10-year run.
The adorable Bill and stunning songbird Taffy also wrote "Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas". Jim Beam me up, Scotty. It's the TV, stupid! It's the stupid TV...

Marty. Times have changed, and sadly the world these guys were trying (without even knowing, really) to help us build didn't occur. The result? People just like yu ...bereft of any sense of POSITIVE direction for humankind. Carp away - its your sad way, I supose. Why do you not see what is happening all around you and not correct your opinions accordingly? Because of likeminded individuals (easily swayed by media trash) you now have a moral dilemna. Carry on in this way, or recognise that, 40 YEARS AGO the people who stood for, sang for and acted upon their belief that peace is the only way we (and more importantly future generations) have any hope of surviving is the only way forward.
I have been posting this stuff for almost 40 years and STILL you guys aint listening.
You reap what you sow.
Enjoying the harvest?
