I mean, I must have heard plenty of songs with verse/chorus before mustn't I?I think I just didn't actually engage until a certain point, and I'd already learnt some kind of music theory.I was naïve but I was also hella young. I was late to "pop music" and voraciously accelerated - Sting/The Police was the starting point of actual fandom I think.

I remember conflating the various Van Zan(d)ts. Like, there was one who was dead, one or more who were alive. And somehow one played with Bruce Springsteen, presumably one of the alive ones.
I'm not sure at what point I heard of Townes Van Zandt, but I probably tried to fit him into the same overall Van Zystem.

I used to think that 'Trad. Arr.' on song credits was an actual person's name, or possibly a writing duo.
