Re: In Defense Of Reno
Great defense, Frank. While the song makes me uncomfortable, I'm not
sure that's a bad thing. I don't usually want to listen to it with
many other people, either, because a casual listener usually won't
understand/agree why he would use the lyrics in that way, or it's just
a "mixed company" situation. But I do admire his storytelling
abilities, and this song really shows them off.
