It should say something that songs 1,2 & 3 of each year are all gone. We have three #4s and a #5. That’s like having an NCAA Final 4 with no Dukes, Carolinas or Kentuckys but a bunch of Butlers and Gonzagas.

I really like all four songs and so I am going to sit out the rest of the contest. I can live with any of the four finalists and yet none would be my personal choice for the best (or most representative) song of this multi-faceted decade, one that featured some of the greatest highs (moon landing) and lows (war, assassinations) in our nation’s history.
