John Stewart, RIP

I just learned that a hero of mine, that my friend B___ first introduced me to, back in the day, John Stewart, had passed away. John Stewart died on Saturday, January 19, 2008 after suffering a major stroke a day earlier. I will be posting snippets of his songs that I loved the best, every now and then.

YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO KANSAS
~ Music and lyrics by John Stewart

Time moves like a river
You can either sink or swim
And a wise man learns to forgive her
For all she's done to him
And no one's getting younger
And a few aren't getting old
It's all in what you feel
And not in what you're told

Oh you can't go back to Kansas
I was there just yesterday
Oh you can't go back to Kansas
It just up and blew away
Oh, but I will go on loving you
It's easier that way
But you can't go back to Kansas
'Cause that was yesterday.
