If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells

It's not really there

It's all on the screen

Makes me forget who I am

I'm an analog man".......

MTV - Deep Purple (2005)

Messrs Gillan and Glover offer a scathing criticism over MTV and Classic Rock Radio just playin' the old stuff. But hold on there fellas, the old stuff made you rich, and it's fans like us that have kept it alive. Maybe if I were more impressed with the new stuff . . . ???
