When the 'art' of songwriting and performing was born, "Hold On" was what they had in mind.

SS is a lightweight, by any measure. I remember reading at the time when this album was released he was planning on releasing an album with the names of all fifty states in the title. Guessing that never happened.

Kottke said something like Little Martha was one of the most perfect songs ever written, or words to that effect... can't remember verbatim and I'm too lazy to Google it up. His version is nice, if a bit clinical... the original version, like most originals (unless Richie Havens got a hold of it, that is) is incomparable.

Sounds like.... hmmm... Radiohead, or, rather, Thom Yorke, but with actual musical instruments being used.

Of dirt you're made, and of dirt you will return.
