[slams against Croce, Cat, Chapin, and Gordon]

Ah, sebby. Where to start?
OK, "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" was a huge hit for Croce, but it ain't the song that people who think he was an artiste have in mind when they sigh wistfully over his passing. Try "Time in a Bottle" or "Operator."
Personally, I prefer Cat's "Moonshadow" or "Father and Son" to "Peace Train." I have a fond spot for Cat in my heart because the hot hippie chick who worked at the local record store smiled at me when she rang up my purchase of "Teaser and the Firecat" lo these many years ago. "That's a really great albumn, man" she purred. "Aren't you Not Nick's little brother?" Not Nick gave me five bucks for that one.
You attack the poetry of Harry Chapin by picking on "Taxi"? You really are a moron, aren't you? Had you mentioned "Cats in the Cradle," I would have frothed at the mouth in rage at that song, and agreed with you -- forgetting that "Taxi" is pure genius. "She was going to be an actress, and I was going to learn to fly."
I miss Greedon Lightfoot. He was my favorite sock.
