Mission Statement

[Bruce the Duck]

Spoiler:

It's from "Judy Blue Eyes". It's in the final section of the song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite:_Judy_Blue_Eyes" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Okay - yeah, it seems like a lot of the song is based on that song.

Spoiler:

Also a good deal of it also resembles "Carry On"

Al really nailed CSNY on this one, and I love the corporate jargon.

I guess I'm not familiar enought with corporate jargon, because for me it sounded like a list of the marketing terms, with some words repeating .

I know someone already said this, but I agree with it: I did not like this song at all at first. But after a couple more listens, it really is a great piece of music. The harmonies are on point. Something kinda different for Al, and he executed it perfectly.

This song is kind of the new Dog Eat Dog. It's a brilliant style parody about corporate tedium that just comes off as strange and boring on first listen if you're not familiar with business culture.

I'd say it's more like "The Check's in the Mail," since that was also composed almost exclusively of business jargon.

It'd be cool to pair this with Dog Eat Dog in the tour.

Not my favourite, but that's not to say it's bad.

This is a pretty amusing anecdote from Al's AMA:

Actually, last year I was in New York doing a satellite radio tour, and Graham Nash was in the very next room... and it just so happens I had just recorded my CSN pastiche "Mission Statement" (which is on the new album). So I walked over to say hi... he sees me, and the first words out of his mouth are, "So, when are you gonna do a parody of 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes'??" I whipped out my iPhone and played "Mission Statement" for him. Instant request! (He loved it, BTW.)

Too bad we had just heard the same anecdote on this article http://www.musictimes.com/articles/7578 ... ry-fun.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
