Maggie May. Then again, she may not. 2nd overplayed "classic" of set (after "Amer Pie").

overplayed, maybe... but I love it every time!


With ya on that, TC. I remember being SICK. TO. DEATH. of it when it was still a hit in 71, as top 40 was playing it twice an hour. I've since gotten over it, and mostly really enjoy it now.

A number of years ago I saw Jonathan Richman on a night when he was suffering from a froggy throat, but soldiering on regardless. He apologized, and somebody in the crowd yelled out something about him sounding like Rod Stewart. Jonathan shot back the first few lines of Maggie May, then just went with it and did the whole song. A great moment.

cool... !  Jonathan always surprises and never disappoints.
