Wow. Yeah, he was a good one. It was the era of singer/songwriters who wore their hearts on their sleeves. Now it all sounds like anger.

I was kind of cheering for the Niners but am not disappointed that the Giants won. My dad is a huge Giants fan (for unexplainable reasons) so if they win I will be happy along with him. This is a guy who grew up a Yankees fan in Red Sox country. He said people literally would not talk to him all winter because the Yankees had won the pennant over the Red Sox.
