Why Oh Because

I love me some Donovan, just in case that wasn't already patently obvious.

& I love the song "Happiness Runs". With nary a smirk, sneer or knowing sidelong glance. This song is the mortal enemy of irony & cynicism. It makes me so, well, happy.

What would the world be like if Donovan had beat out Dylan (see: D.A. Pennebaker's Don't Look Back) to become the generational voice turned revered (practically sainted) elder statesman?

You'd probably hear a lot more flowers & sunshine in music.
