(For our younger viewers you may be familiar with this song as performed
by Counting Crows.)
1) Catchy tune
2) Catchy lyrics
3) Takes you back to those good old days if you're a mid-century modern like I am
4) Good to hum or download onto your ipod to cover up the Muzak the new Royal Gorge LLC will pipe around its phony "conservation" community.
5) If you hum loudly enough, or max the volume on your ipod, you might not hear the noisy traffic Misters Foster and Syme plan on bringing to the summit.
6) Maybe if you really turn up the volume you won't hear the cacophony accompanying years of construction.
7) Joni's Mitchell's lyrics remain as compelling today as when the song was first published. (Ladies of the Canyon)
8) "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot with a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot."
9) "They took all the trees-put 'em in a tree museum and they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em."
10) "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone"
