In the Song Series, I explore songs that have achieved iconic status, great songs that had the misfortune of getting stuck on crappy albums, wonderful songs that somehow escaped public attention, unusual juxtapositions of song and topic, and other songs of cultural significance.
At least that’s the idea . . . I have a feeling that my intentions will morph over time.
