XM Moment .....

When asked to name "THE" music of the 70s, some might say disco, while others will say rock (with some of them going so far as to say the 'Golden Age' of rock) .....

Actually, I think it was both ..... and plenty more, besides ....

For example, it was a great decade for folk songs and ballads, too, as I was reminded this morning, when I heard Joan Baez sing "Diamonds and Rust" on XM's "70s on 7" ..... Here's that song, courtesy of Webcruiser .....

Baez was not alone ..... back then, there were plenty during that decade, who took some really fine poetry, and set it to music ..... they included Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Seeger, Cat Stevens, Linda Ronstadt, Gordon Lightfoot and - my personal favorite - Harry Chapin .....
