    I think this will be the most difficult Survivor to date. This round, my vote goes to: Same Girl.

    Yeah, it's not very romantic! The term "buddy" seems more appropriate for other guys and kids. I actually think the original may have been written with two close guy friends in mind - here are some lyrics not found in Glenn's version that are in the original:

    Yeah, lines like "touch of your hand" and "nights are long" sound like he is talking about a lover but a lot of these older songs say things that nowadays would come off as a bit... well... awkward for straight men to say to each other.

    Now, obviously, Glenn interprets it as a love song to a woman, but it would explain a lot if the songwriter meant it to be to a guy friend.

    I'm not going to be around when the voting closes tonight, so, unfortunately, I have to vote sooner than I would like. I was probably going to vote for I'm Getting Old Before My Time, but since it doesn't look like that is going down this round, I will vote to try to save Same Girl since I like it a bit better than some of the others. Therefore ...

    I cast my vote for My Buddy.

    I read that My Buddy was originally written as a farewell to people who had gone off to the war. I do share other people's reservations about it, and that's why I voted for it first. Oh, but he's so SMOOTH (if I say that about every song I will never vote).

    I don't want to rave about Same Girl again, but it just aches. It was an absolute privilege to see it sung live. It's one of my favourite performances - not just from this album but from his entire career. That is just how I feel about it.

    So I will vote for My Buddy this first round.

    And I know I've said this before, but I will reiterate--- I really miss the immunity questions. They just seem to add a great dimension to the game.
    I'm glad you decided to play.

    What a shame. As I say, it's my guilty pleasure & I hope the people who voted for it give it another chance for it to grow on them.

    I again vote for My Buddy.

    Interesting! Thanks for the factoid.

    Glenn sure makes it work live. The song's messed-up concept is what got it voted off the island first.
