Songs that describe people and / or their life state:

Examples: The Hollies: Long cool woman in a black dress, Mott the Hoople: All the Young Dudes, Richie Haven's version of Bob Dylan's Just like a Woman

One of my fav songs about humans is Little Girl Blue (live) - Janis Joplin's version (1969) from @Scarlet37Blue on YT https://youtu.be/8k_hsxNaFmU

I was looking forward to hearing a rousing version of "I Love L.A." It seems like a huge oversight. I haven't seen any news articles about him being in ill health, though at 81 he's probably not in the best shape.

I loved these guys as a teenager; my dad who died fairly young would play the Red Rocks album and for many years I had a song from it in my head without knowing who it was from. When I discovered them later on, I listened obsessively and downloaded every bootleg concert I could find for a few years.

It's been many years since I listened to everything but I'm gonna do a relistening kick deep dive (I'm on Search For The Lost Chord right now and absolutely loving everything so far and extremely impressed and excited).

A few things stand out - besides the excellent songwriting, and the harmonies, I'm surprised by how many of their early songs are bursting and danceable (and especially the deluxe bonus track singles and bsides), which isn't something I associated with them. Prime examples are Peak Hour, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, the breakdown section of Tuesday Afternoon, and Ride My Seesaw. It's that really groovy, extremely 60s British beat type of danceable. Edge is a master at drumming in this style, and Lodge's bass playing really really really good. Lodge seems to play the perfect bassline for every single song. I'm surprised at how much I still like them and would rate them up there with anyone, after hearing so much different music since the first time around.

Any other Moody lovers around?
