A simple song for a simpler time. I wish it were that way again.

just looked at my facebook and saw that i had put "sweet talkin' stranger" on Aug. 31st...it was a hard choice...don't know why i DO facebook except that camille insisted and i wasn't able to say no...

There's a lot of "facebook" talk on the web. I don't get it. I avoid facebook precisely because it's so personal. I see the faces of and watch the networking of old friends and it's painful for all the unfulfilled promise. At this point I prefer to "rely on the kindness of strangers". I realize this is possibly a fatal flaw.

the old "friends" i see on facebook seem to wear a mask unlike yours who are more honest - one relative from my past asked to email rather than facebook saying she'd rather remove the mask that hides what she doesn't want everyone else to see - we're emailing -

when will you post "fatal flaw" or was i just dreaming about something you once wrote?

Very relaxing "happy" sound. Wish I could learn to fingerpick like Charlie.

you say "you wish it were that way again?" - what happened to the guy who wanted change? but i DO know what you mean - we want the simple back but we'd have to accept everything that went with it -

Traditional songs are like comfort food; good for the soul.

Traditional songs take you back to the past, something you should like, John!

In the future all songs will sound like the past.

The music not yet written is in the soul of the people.

Children like a simple tune, something they can sing. In the future, as adults, they will more often only listen.

The folk movement of the 60's seemed like a simpler, home spun, less commercial slant on music. But in the end it was all driven by the Almighty Dollar. Dylan seems to have been right up there duking it out with the rest of them.

and the irony of woodstock was that it was dependent on capitalistic technology -

I like this but most times old stuff is stupid
