Wimpiest Song Ever?
I heard it in a restaurant two days ago. Like the flu, it lingers on. Dan Fogelberg's "Longer", which ascended into the
Billboard Top 10 exactly 24 years ago, has to be the wimpiest song ever. Fogelberg sings as if he were strolling through a meadow, plucking petals off a daisy. There's even a fey trumpet solo. Gag me with a granola bar! Outside the occasional 'American Idol' contestant, one doesn't hear much sensitive male balladry these days - and never anything as passive as ol' Fogey. Can anybody top this?
