What the hell is going on with songs in the 70s? Last night I heard that song “Gypsies Tramps and Thieves” (Cher) and I remembered the song “Last Time I Saw Him” (Diana Ross.) I lived during the 1970s. Not once did I see a wagon in a town and not once did I know of traveling salesmen who impregnated women and then scaddadled. I just find it odd that TWO songs were written with similar topics at the same time. What the hell kind of village did these people live in anyway?
