I've always respected him for his honesty. And thought of him as more toward coal-miner folk music kinda like the Everly Brothers, whose father, Ike, was a coal miner in Kentucky, rather than actual country.

As far as depressing songs, the one that I always turned off when it came on the radio was
"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

I just didn't "get" Gordon Lightfoot. That's my not so humble musical opinion.

You talking Maurice Ravel? That French guy? What does that have to do with JC?
