[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can't listen to Harry Chapin's "Cats in the Cradle" about a dad being blown off by his son, because that's what dad did while the kid was growing up.  TOO SAD and I change the channel every time![/quote]

All of Harry Chapin's songs are depressing and sad:
On the Road to Kingdom Come - a young man is barred from seeing his girlfriend only to find out at the end that it is because she is his half-sister
Taxi - Two former lovers meet accidentally and find out that neither achieved their dreams and both are living empty lives
Corey's Coming - story about an old man who tends the nearly abandoned railroad station.  No one befriends him until one young man listens to his stories but is told all his stories including the one about the woman, Corey, who comes to visit him on the train are false.  When he dies, the young man is the only visitor at his grave site until Corey shows up.  The one positive is that the young man now tends the railroad station and Corey comes to visit him.
Flowers are Red - a little boy has his active imagination crushed by a horrific teacher and turns into a drone without imagination

I could go on, but Harry Chapin writes the most depressing and sad songs ever.[/quote]

For the record, his wife wrote some of them. :-p[/quote]
