    Did you spend the afternoon at diversity thrift? Almost half their stock last week was the Folg.

    I imagine Mr. & Mrs. Fogelberg might. Maybe.

    dude.

    Jim Croce, sure. Love that stuff.

    Elton John...yeah, a few great songs, some decent LPs.

    John Denver, sure some people equate him with total crap, but 'Country Roads' and 'Jet Plane' are great songs.

    James Taylor, well, it's seriously pushing it, but I can take 'Handy Man' and his versions of some carol King songs that nobody can wreck.

    But Dan Fogelgerg? That stuff is so boring it's not even dissable. I must have heard 'Run for the Roses' a million times back when I was 13, not by choice.

    So close your mind, son.

    Ubiquitous mediocrity may be the worst crime there is.

    The scariest thing of all is that this photo was taken
    6 days ago - in anticipation of a Fogey thread to come.

    In high school I went to see one of those Warren Miller ski movies, where Warren Miller actually narrates the film. So right near the start he's talking about how cool making this movie was and how he couldn't wait to share it with all of us and how he was "skiing Squaw Valley, shredding the powder when he ran into the man who composed the awesome rock soundtrack your are now enjoying. That man, Dan Folgelberg". Cue slowmo shot of the Dan emerging from a spray of fresh powder to the sound of totally unshredding easy listening rock. The silence from the crowd of teenage burners assembled was deafening.

    That Old Lang Syne song is about as melencholy xmas song as you will ever hear. That's the nicest thing I can say about him.

    Why no love for James Taylor? That first Apple lp? 2 versions of Knocking Around The Zoo on that demo lp? Duet with Yo Yo Ma on the Grammys ? Buddys with Danny Kothmar? Heroin addict?

    Anyway, if I gotta listen to people you all are mentioning I'll take Taylor and Croce over Folgeberg and Elton. Who did that song about Vincent Van Guoh, Starry Night?

    It's called "Vincent" and it's by Don Mclean

    over Folgeberg and Elton.

    I always thought Elton John's early LPs rose above the standard dollar bin soft fare. Hell, some of the shit on Yellow Brick Road is flat out prog. His terrible post-mid 70s output withstanding (Neil Young may be the only 70s era artist that this does not apply to?), I ride for S/T, Madman Across the Water, Tumbleweed, Honky Chateau. Great fucking records. For anything, Paul Buckmaster's strings are retarded--esp on Tiny Dancer.

    I don't think it is ever a good time to say that. Not that I wasn't just repping Don McClean.
