Listening to White Light right now and goddamn if Gene wasn't one of the best damn American songwriters of the 20th century.

Give it up for the man who wrote:
"I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better"
"Here Without You"
"Why Not Your Baby"
"One In a Hundred"
"Tried So Hard"
and dozens of others.

And one of the rare number of Bob Dylan contemporaries whom Bob actually admired as a songwriter.

Full Circle Song.

Appreeeeeeeesh.

He can cover songs like nobody's business, too. 'Don't Let Me Down' still turns me to ooze. The good kind of ooze.
