[curefreak]

Well he's not really doing the same thing as Dylan,so I don't really quite see the connection, but Croce was still an excellent song writer and singer.

He really created some very sweet and decent music during his short life.

I've been wanting to check out more of his stuff for a little while now and this has just reinforced that desire. I would think Cat Stevens would be a better comparison than Dylan surely.

when i find his recorded songs lacking in things besides songwriting that makes a good song.
stuff like melodies and hooks and stuff like that.

Well, I do disagree with you about Dylan but I do understand where you're coming from - he is a bit of a tough nut to crack.

The thing about Dylan, is that if you listen to his songs sung by other people, or on that album where he stopped smoking, the one with Lay Lady, Lay, you hear the melodic stuff. Far more than in his usual "style," which I agree, can be grating at times.

I really loved Jim Croce's music, and his social and political commitment to causes like hunger. I think it was when Band Aid, and USA for Africa got going that his widow said he was up in heaven saying, "It's about time!" He was killed on the L.I.E., or Long Island Expressway, which is a very dangerous road, that kills a lot of people, and it amazes me that even after a loss of a giant like Croce, it's still not been altered.

Lay lady Lay is allright in my book but no great shakes.

"Lay Lady, Lay" is one that I found troubling as a kid. It's too honest, and I think it's only really understandable when you've wanted, or have been wanted in that way.

Dylan's voice has never sounded better than on that song.

Croce died in a plane crash.

You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim'
