No particular comment to paste for their are far too many, but why does Mumford & Sons dominate the song comment discussion? Does Mumford & Sons even exists or they a fabricated source for all like sounded type of music? I have listened to Mumford a couple of times and forgot that I had heard them immediately after and sometimes during the songs, could it be they are such a blend into the woodwork perfect conglomeration of new folk that their music can be not be really truly heard and assimilated by the brain, just fades into the woodwork causing everyone to "sound like Mumford & Sons" but for Mumford themselves to sound like nothing? Very curious phenomenom indeed.

. Shawn Colvin — Enjoy the Ride
Enjoy the Ride indeed. I love these United States.
This song is for that moment of the film when everything changes forever. Not necessarily for better of for worse, but different and unexplored. And you somehow know that that golden memory, that you'll prize like a photograph for the rest of your life, is just beginning.
It's a song about a woman who, when people arrive looking for a nice cup of tea (and perhaps a crumpet), invites them in then feeds them to her dogs. Possibly after shooting them with her assault rifle, although I'm not clear on that part. I'm couldn't find her on tripadvisor, so that's about all the info I have.

He saturates the airwaves more than Justin Bieber or Beyoncé, to say nothing of those TV commercials he does for Honey BBQ Fritos and Progressive Insurance

I was looking for something else and found this comment, which made me want to post this video. This band is playing Donkey Creek this year. Remind you of anyone?
A very good point. But you have to admit that the industry wastes a lot of time trying to promote the next band that sounds like the other successful band. I can't tell if it's just to make a quick buck, or if it's because the listeners demand it. You're right though....British invasion, grunge, '90s boy bands, O Brother spurs a bluegrass revival. Sometimes it works in our favor, sometimes not

I actually like that song a great deal, but the imagery in that comment was perfect.
I'd pay to see that!
