I have John David Souther, Black Rose, You're Onnly Lonely, and Tenderness. Carmichael's description is accurate, but sometimes "pleasing enough" does grab me. Also, not being The Eagles or Jackson Browne grabs me. Weirdly, I like L&M, too.

It's unlikely that you could make a crabby patty using cheap champagne or any type of champagne.

...remember some suggestion that 'Head' made 'Easy Rider' possible ...but it notably flopped so I guess I don't remember it - must have been Monkees series money...
