Caught this in passing recently and had forgotten how pleasant it was. Turns out, a lot of my friends had all but forgotten it, yet got emotional just listening to a few bars.
By all rights, this should be the poster song for everything wrong with that era, but it survives on, I don't know what, simplicity, earnestness.
Not to say this is my 'favorite favorite' song, but it's pretty impressive, and a little perplexing, how well it holds up.
I'm not going for out and out lame. That's too easy [guilty pleasure].
I'm talking about the song that might be considered lame by some objective standard, but you like it enough to defend it if called into service to do so.
Both Fast Car and Sister Christian are probably too widely loved to have to be defended, but there's enough 'lameness' given time for me not to object to their submission. [Reply]
