Hyman Naugthon sat down to write a song,
With the help of some expensive words,
He was comin' right along.
He wrote about his troubles,
And then he wrote of death.
He wrote about his love affairs,
And then about himself.
He played his favorite two chords,
He played them back and forth.
He sang his verse and banged the strings until his voice was hoarse,
And them some unexpected changes,
That hardly made good sense,
And he proudly viewed coarse fingertips to be used as evidence.
(Chorus)
I'm speaking of the gentle,
Fools are rude and mean.
I don't know if I'd make a judge,
It's only what I've seen.
Yeah, sha-sha, hey-yeh!
There's love inside of everyone for yourself or someone else,
And they'll want to take you with them,
On their side of the fence.
But a friend of mine once told me,
If your neighbor's house should burn,
He'd want your house to follow,
Depressed was I to learn.
Friends all around who fear my cold condemning stare,
Handed down from older men, they seem to insane to care.
Then again I don't understand,
My mind must be truly dense.
But I think what they call genius,
Is simple common sense.
(Chorus)
I'm speaking of the gentle,
Fools are rude and mean.
I don;t know if I'd make a judge,
It's only what I've seen.
Yeah, sha-sha, hey-yeh! (2x)
Black Oak Arkansas è stato un gruppo di Southern Rock di successo negli anni '70. Il loro brano più famoso, "Jim Dandy (to the Rescue)", vedeva la collaborazione con la sensazionale Miss Ruby Starr. Il gruppo ha riscosso un enorme successo anche nei tour, grazie all'energia delle loro performance e all'immagine iconica di Jim Dandy. L'energia dal vivo del gruppo era spesso esaltata quando Ruby Starr accompagnava il gruppo sia in concerto che in numerose apparizioni televisive. Black Oak Arkansas è stato anche il trampolino di lancio per il batterista Tommy Aldridge, che ha poi raggiunto la fama con artisti come Ozzy Osbourne e Whitesnake. Verso la fine degli anni '70, Black Oak si dissolse dopo diversi cambiamenti di formazione e musicali. Jim Dandy aveva inoltre subito un attacco cardiaco nel 1980.
In the realm of rock 'n' roll, there are few names as iconic as Queen, and within the Queen pantheon, Brian May stands out not only as a legendary guitarist but also as an astrophysicist with a profound connection to NASA.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
