No mention of “Harper Valley PTA” in this thread? R.I.P.

The final verse of “I Like Beer”:

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine

Btw, on the subject of “political songs” – this one is dense and specific to a remarkable degree.

Well, I know there's a lotta big preachers that know a lot more than I do,
But it could be that the good Lord likes a little pickin' too.

RIP Tom, one of my dad's favorites.

Really want to POLL various versions of “That’s How I Got to Memphis.”

Man, even if he had written nothing but this song…

Bobby Bare's is my favorite, but it's a hard song to mess up even if you try.
