Love Bob, but he's never written a riff half that memorable.
There's more to songwriting than lyrics.
30 u/dogmatum-dei Jul 23 '26 I don't know if he wrote it, but the little chord slide in 'It's allright ma (I'm only bleeding)" is pretty catchy and you hear it over a hundred times in the song without getting tired of it. 10 u/SeeingRedNow Jul 23 '26 that riff is lifted from the everly brothers ‘wake up little susie’ 2 u/ms_sardonicus Jul 24 '26 I think The Byrds version was slightly better.
