Man, I was just sitting here with my fellow dudes and dudettes snipping buds and leaves and we all love this song.

That sounds supernatural! Everybody in my church loves this elevating song...

Yeah, well some people are still listening to Mozart's 40th symphony as well. Music's not like food - it doesn't go off as it ages.

A great deal of music "goes off" as it ages - (especially many tunes by The Byrds) - not this tune so much, though. Anyhow, it doesn't mean that one should not listen to it, but Roger McGuinn is not Mozart.

God, what a great song! Perfect for today! Bluebird, almost-winter skies in Oregon. I'm eight miles high... {#Sunny}

I've seen Roger McGuinn in concert in the last ten years and this period piece is reminiscent of how in some quarters the light continues, yet, on my playlist it's the Roxy Music version that still receves extended plays.

I can't remember who, but one NASA astronaut requested this song to be played to their capsule. That impressed me at the time.

The Byrds influenced the Beatles. That is a claim to fame.

I love watching snow-covered mountain ranges from airplanes. ;-)
