    The story of MacArthur Park.

    I've become quite the Jimmy Webb fan in the last few years. As I think I mentioned, I never "got" "Galveston," until I heard the slow, poignant version.

    Campbell is just amazing in this.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      There’s an old NPR interview with him that I heard in 2010, but I think it was a few years old then. Maybe a Fresh Air or All Things Considered?

      You’d enjoy it.

          Wow. I barely recognized it. Great version.

          MacArthur Park was redone back in 2015 by the Neil Morse band with Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) on drums. I always thought they did a great job. I saw them do this live from the 4th row. Watching Mike Portnoy play the drums was worth the price of the ticket alone. It was quite the experience.

            I thought you'd started baking.
