Songs about infidelity should not sound as upbeat as George Harrison's "What Is Life" and the one being screwed over should not sound as happy as he does on this fuzz filled acquiescence. Sure, taking the high road is supposed to be liberating but this is ridiculous. Especially when Eric Clapton gets to play guitar on the damn thing.
1971 must have been a very exciting year for Patti Boyd as "What Is Life" was followed a month later by "Layla" and rock gods were singing her praises to us, mere mortals invited to worship but not yet sure to whom we were praying.
Have a great weekend.
