Only in college XXXII

A DJ with whom I worked at a college radio station summoned me to the production room, asking me to listen to one of her favorite songs, Nilsson's "Me And My Arrow."  When it ended, she acted somewhat sheepish about having played it.  Although I reacted positively to the tune, I wish I'd responded more specifically then.  I wish I'd told her, "That's an admirable favorite song.  It's an endearing tune about the friendship between a boy and his dog.  Nothing wrong with that..."  As someone who has shoehorned tales of his cat, Sylvia, and other family cats into many blog posts ostensibly about music, I can relate.  "Me And My Arrow" is a sincere, heartfelt tribute to a beloved pet.  If that concept moves you, listen to it--without feeling sheepish.
