Ooh, a storm is threatening my very life today

[Rolling Stones, Gimme Shelter)

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven (Stairway to Heaven)

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday.....The Stones

Are You Going to Scarborough Fair...S&G

She came down from Cincinnati (Fins, Jimmy Buffet)

DLM2000, I was listening to that record this afternoon! (Gordon Lightfoot, that is)

You're right, Annie. I was mixing up Lennon's Strawberry Fields Forever

"When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school," (Kodachrome, Paul Simon).

A lot of people's answers aren't opening lines to the songs, but to the chorus - I'm afraid pointing that out is being a party pooper, but I'm gonna anyway.

“I heard there was a secret cord that David played and it pleased the Lord…” (Love K.D. Lang’s version)

(you're all singing these instead of reading, right?)

jojoco, I’m singing as I’m reading and posting!👍🏻

I'm sticking with you, cause I'm made out of glue

The Velvet Underground

Got out of town on a boat, goin‘ to southern islands

You who are on the road must have a code you try to live by

S/b a secret chord

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

when you're perfect in every way.

She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
And she rules this smoky kingdom

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart

We're a band of brothers and sisters and whatever
On a mission to break all the rules

Take this job and shove it

If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

If everybody had an ocean

Across the USA

One pill makes you larger,

One pill makes you small

So many of these are my favorites!

This one hasn't been shared yet--

" I pulled into Nazareth,

was feeling bout half past dead"

The Weight /by the Band.

Round like a circle in a spiral like a wheel within a wheel (Windmills of your mind)

Great topic Salonva!

We come on the Sloop John B

All the leaves are brown (California Dreaming)

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy

They all said 'Louise was not half bad'
It was written on the walls & window shades

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa

[Green Green Grass of Home]

Well, I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again

Mama - just killed a man

Queen

When you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go...downtown

"I'm your man" .... Leonard Cohen

This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's
Restaurant.

Just finished listening to it. A very long time tradition in my house! Happy T-day!

czar, I just learned this week that listening to Alice’s Restaurant is a Thanksgiving tradition for some families!

The Alice that inspired this song died just this week.

In a message posted to Facebook, Guthrie paid tribute to his departed friend.

“I first met Alice in 1962 when she was the school librarian at The Stockbridge School, in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. I was there beginning my second of four years. I also met, Rick Robbins, another student, and we've been friends ever since,” Guthrie recalled. “Rick and I went to visit Ray and Alice for Thanksgiving in 1965. The rest is history. Alice went into the restaurant business and I began my years as an entertainer. We were, both in our own ways, successful. As well as being a restauranteur, Alice also became an author, and an artist. We worked together on various projects. During the next few decades we remained friends while our lives kept us busy. She was a no-nonsense gal, with a great sense of humor.”

“This coming Thanksgiving will be the first without her,” Guthrie continued, describing Brock as a "lifelong friend." “Alice and I spoke by phone a couple of weeks ago, and she sounded like her old self. We joked around and had a couple of good laughs even though we knew we'd never have another chance to talk together.”

Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
Oh, what's going on (

That album is a masterpiece - so sad it still is so relevant

Yes, I agree. And 1970-71 were probably the best years ever for music.
