Compared with the Beatles or Brian Wilson Jimmy Webb is practically an unknown. Being America's premier lyricist that's a huge oversight.

Country music is failure music. Nothing but beer, pick ups, trump flags and bad marriages it does nothing to life the human spirit. WhyWichita Lineman is so good is the reason Country music these days is ear garbage for morons.

Webb wrote this while still in high school. When he showed up at the Brill Building in NYC (Tin Pan Alley) the executives were expecting an older seasoned man. Instead a hippy child came through the door.

Webb wrote about places but often what we think he's up to is exactly the opposite.
