Mild indeed. Joke taken.
And Gordon Lightfoot is indeed a non-titillating source of pain. Ditto Dan Fogleberg, James Taylor, Barry Manilow, The Bee Gees, and the Bay City Rollers.
edit: I think it would be more appropriate to say that recent generations have not known hardship. Most of their lives have been without significant struggle or conflict. They have not had to literally fight for their lives or ideals or the continuance thereof, they are instead involved in a war of words and images. When one has to take up arms to defend one's way of life, life takes on a completely different meaning and the trivial issues fall by the wayside. An absence of such trial and hardship leaves a person to find meaning and reason in life through different avenues.
