First of all, before anyone decides to give me a hard time with the "the decade of the 2010s didn't start until 2011" argument, I'm using the definition of "decade" which simply states, "a period of ten years."
It took a little longer than expected to winnow the list down to 50 (there were some really painful cuts involved; I'm very sorry, Cardi B), but it's ready to go, so this little series will carry the blog through the end of the year. Counting down, Casey Kasem style, my Top 50 Songs of the Decade. If you don't see and hear something you enjoy, then you need to work on your musical tastes.
We begin the countdown with a living legend:
My parents and aunts took me to see Willie Nelson for my 21st birthday, which for those keeping track, was 38 years ago. He was a grizzled veteran then, so I'm not even sure what to call him now. But he's still writing great songs, still singing great songs, and by all appearances, still smoking only the best weed.
"Me and You," Willie Nelson (2018). The old man clearly has an astute observation or two left up his sleeve.
