Different Drum, The Stone Poneys

This is such an incredible song. The lyrics are particularly poignant.

From wiki: "Different Drum" is a song written by Michael Nesmith in 1965. The song tells of a pair of lovers, one of whom wants to settle down, while the other wants to retain a sense of freedom and independence. Its narrator is the lover who wants to remain free, telling the other that "we'll both live a lot longer" if they part ways now.

I would love to know Michael Nesmith's back story when writing this song.

The bookend:

Taxi, Henry Chapin

From wiki:
"Taxi" is a song written and performed by Harry Chapin from his 1972 album Heads & Tales.
Chapin debuted the song on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" in 1972, which was followed by many calls and telegrams sent from viewers to NBC demanding that Chapin return to the show.
It was the first time in the show's history that host Johnny Carson brought a performer back the very next night for an encore performance.
