NOSEFORBEER OCT REV'S

THE LONG WINTERS - PUTTING THE DAYS TO BED = 4 STARS
GREAT CD. HATS OFF TO THE SUBMITTER OF THIS GREAT SELECTION.

JENNIFER O'CONNOR- OVER THE MOUNTAIN, ACROSS THE VALLEY AND BACK TO THE STARS = 2 STARS
NOT HORRIBLE, BUT NOT GREAT. I THINK IF A GUY WOULD HAVE MADE SOMETHING THIS MEDIOCRE I WOULD HATE IT. I MUST HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS FOR MALE SONG WRITERS.

MISFITS – AMERICAN PSYCHO = 1-1/2 STARS
AT ONE TIME I DID LIKE SOME OF THE MISFITS SONGS, BUT NOT THIS LP.

JACQUES DUTRONC – LES PLAYBOYS = 1/4 STAR
YET ANOTHER REASON TO DESPISE THE FRENCH. MAKES ME THINK OF FRENCH-HIPPY-FREE-LOVE--WITH HAIRY ARMPITS.

BEST OF - LOS LOBOS
THE GREATEST BAR BAND TO MAKE IT BIG. THEIR MUSIC CROSSES MANY GENRES.

TOPIC. GREATEST SONG EVER:

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

SOCIALY NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED FROM WHEN THIS SONG WAS WRTTEN.
