#AT40 Hated this song 52 years ago, hate it now. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PS: Love Roberta Flack. Just not this time.

#AT40 I kinda liked this in grade school - and then it was used to great effect in "Being There"

#AT40 Same! I love that little bit of business. Also "oh, that's beautiful"

#AT40 Hopefully, this will not become America's national anthem

#AT40 Feh. I was 12 and we had to sing this dreck in music class. The 6th grade girls loved it. The boys wanted to die.

#AT40 I had to get past songs like this to discover the amazingness that really is the Moody Blues. When I was kid, this just sounded like generic rock noise. (And "Nights in White Satin" was the slow-dance song.) And then...boom.

Ok, finished the 4th #NoKings sign for my ladylove. What does this have to do with #AT40? Um… maybe we was listening to it in Vietnam?

"OK, so there's Tony, there's Orlando, and there's Dawn…" We've been through this, Dad. "And there's Hamilton, Joe, Frank, and Reynolds…" No, it's 'Joe Frank'. "Then there's Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull who are not dudes…" Yeah. "Then there's Alice Cooper who wasn't a dude until he was…" #AT40

Good Morning, #AT40! I'm on the West Coast, prepping signs for #NoKings later at Noon. It's 1973… we have a crook president, weed is decriminalized in Oregon, and we might even get gas lines!
