Thinking About "Mumford & Sons"

In regards to the post below this one, I was thinking of the lyrics of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." The official lyrics are
Rock and roller cola wars
but I was thinking "roller coaler," which I mistyped as "roller coller" because it looks better. I wonder if you can claim creative license to writing something down incorrectly, or mishearing something. I could hear "coller," but instead it was "cola."

Oi, my thought is too complicated to be expressed at this time of evening. Maybe I'll come back to it later.

However, the band Mumford and Sons is my new Counting Crows, and perhaps the Proclaimers, too - more than the songs that have cropped up in popular movies like Shrek. (Gasp - Shrek 2 is where I heard my first Counting Crows song... eep, more proof that I"m living life backwards.)

  1. All the women I know with good taste in music are raving about Mumford & Sons. I heard one album on a car ride last month and was impressed.

    Also, THAT'S where you heard your first Counting Crows song? SHREK 2 ?!? Way to simultaneously make me feel old and suspicious about your youth...
