It’s songs like this that draw me to RP.

Love this! Makes me miss living in Over The Rhine but I’m very happy to be living in Portugal

I think we've all heard this song enough.  Stop playing it.

I love RP until he starts playing this and Simon and Garfunkel or the Beach Boys.  Stop it already!! This doesn't work here!

I'm extremely biased about these guys and especially about this song.  They're from Cincinnati, where I live, and I got lucky enough to see them in Paris last November and through their management got them to dedicate this song to my 10-year old twins who were seeing their first concert ever.  Talk about blowing your mind!  But they are a much better band live I think than in the studio.

Thanks teapot, they are a fabulous band in concert, one of the few bands I think that are better live that in a studio.

I'm biased I'm sure because I'm from Cincinnati where the guys in this band are from, but I love this song and that reached a new high last night when my wife and I took our kids to their first concert ever, and it happened to be the National in Paris and we sent an email to the band and they dedicated this song in concert to our ten year old twins.  It was one of the best moments of my life!

The best thing about this song is it's length.

It's stuff like this that drives me back to Slacker and Pandora.  Great in it's day but that day is long gone and I have heard this song more times than I want to.  Adios RP.

You CANT be serious.  Mrs Robinson??  I may be done with RP forever after this.   I can't take this anymore.  I really can't.  Pandora rules.  This is awful.

I really wanted to give Bill a chance today and do work around the house listening to RP.  But to play this so close to another worn out song in Time Has Come Today has me sprinting for Pandora!

This song's time has come and long gone.  Please go away and stay away.{#Frustrated}

This is one of the songs RP plays that makes me glad I discovered Pandora.  No Doors on my Pandora.

Just an awful song.  It was terrible when it came out decades ago and makes RP sound horrid.  I can't tune away fast enough.

One of the weaker versions of what very well could be my favorite song of all time.  There are some great live versions, especially on DVD.

Something has gone horribly wrong with my internet provider.  Suddenly Secret Agent Man was playing on what was supposed to be Radio Paradise.  I think I need to change providers to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Great song despite the Michael McDonald backing vocals.  You can just hear him thinking "I can't wait to ruin the Doobie Brothers!"
Posted 16 years ago by billbangert:
This song has no place on RP.  Tuning away now.

An instrumental without vocals? I don't get it.  Kind of like the Sarah Palin thing.

Totally agree with Spumoni.  I can understand how Rush creates some true loathing, and they don't have the spot in my life that they used to, but I love this song, the lyrics are the best that Neal Peart ever wrote.  Great great tune, that I appreciate even more now, with eighteen years passed in my life since this came out, they have much more significance.  Nice play, Bill!
