I Get the News I Need from the Weather Report
#The news can keep happening. That’s just fine.
I love the counterpoint between the refrain saying “Half of the time we’re gone, but we don’t know where…” and the backup singers singing “Here I am.”
The album Bridge Over Troubled Water, featuring the title track, came out in 1970, before I was two. I started listening to it in earnest when I was a teenager about ten years later. It’s still one of my favorite albums.
I’ve always enjoyed The Only Living Boy in New York, it stands out to me even as much as the more famous tracks.
