yes, it was written by Paul Simon, but the more popular version of the song was by the Cyrcle.

Rest well, Tom Dawes

that sorta song, goes along the lines of the song "Little Boxes"

Malvina Reynolds wrote the words and music, but Pete Seeger will most undoughtedly, get credit for the song...

one of my favorite shows is 'Weeds' on showtime.... I love the way this season has a differant artist version of the song, on each new episode.....

And there all made outta ticky tacky and they all look just the same...

Mr. Whipple wasn't a folk-music icon, but his was a recurring them in the lives of many of us-–and an important theme, at that. Rest in peace, Dick Wilson:

I saw this on the news & was so sorry to hear about him. I think he was also one of the Mr Wilsons in Dennis the Menace. Please don't squeeze the Charmin...

prostrate cancer? Is that where you're stiff as a board and they use you to iron their undies nice and crisp?

Yes, and it should never be confused with supine cancer.
