>>You know how every once in a while you hear a song that is just perfect. The tune is right, the chorous, the words. The latest one for me is Dani California. The great thing is the video is good, a micro history of rock.

>One of the songs on my "if I was stuck on a desert island" list is the Beach Boys version of "Sloop John B."

Great choice. Sugary sweet pop, that could be overlooked as fluff, but masterfully arranged like classical music. It brings to mind Robert Redford and Johnny Depp in the early careers, but both turned out to be some of the best actors of their respective generations.

Best of the Season!
