Lyrically, the song reminded me of
"Maggie May" ("Wake up, Maggie I think I got something to say to you/It's late September and I really should be back at school"), a number-one single preceded on the UK charts by Donny Osmond's cover of
Go Away Little Girl ("I know that your lips are sweet/But our lips must never meet"), and followed by Cher's
"Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves" ("I was sixteen, he was twenty-one/Rode with us to Memphis/And Papa would'a shot him/if he knew what he'd done").
What a difference 40 years makes.
There
is a difference between writing about something and advocating it, right?
