A crossroads of thought somewhere south of religion and culture, just north of music and verse, slightly west of trivia and mystery, and somewhere east of old and new.

Fanny, Be Tender With My Love
Okay. Laugh at me if you want to, but the Bee Gees were a great pop group! Yeah, they wore funny lookin' clothes and had weird hair cuts, but they were masters at crafting catchy tunes. I particularly like this song because it was somewhat transitional for them. It was before Saturday Night Fever and their intense disco era. They were moving from folk music into a much more soulful sound. The high falsetto vocals at the end are reminiscent of 70's soul groups like the Chi-lites. Can you dig it?
