Re: SoJ/I, Week Four (one day late): "The Walking"

Dear All,

My fave too.

I've searched for the slavic connection, but gotten nowhere.

Are there any Supertramp fans out there? I definitely like their 
"Crime of the Century." I may well be in my top 20....

I ask because it's always struck me that 'The Walking" could be 
wonderfully covered by Supertramp. The forward and rhythmic 
/propulsive piano. The plaintive vocal. The aggressive drumming. The 
way it builds and subsides....

Supertramp, circa "Crime of the Century," that is.

Isn't Mango the monkey?
(I don't think she's referring to that character on Sat Night Live, 
who drives all men mad with desire.)

PS One thing I really like about Supertramp is how so many of their 
songs are about insecurity and confusion, madness.
Am I super... or just a lost tramp?
Not a typical topic for famous rockers.
