Yes, performed very well by the Turtles and written by the Byrds!!

Easy one, guys. "Our National Pastime" by Rupert Holmes on his debut Epic album, "Widescreen." Great record circa 1974.

Nicole, I've always wondered that myself since no credit is given. Brian was so overlooked as a guitarist and should have had more influence on the Stones' direction. He was treated in some ways like George in the Beatles. The drugs and drinking made it impossible for Brian to defend his positions and he, ultimately, was forced out of the band. The whole story is a shame. Sorry I can't help with the quote. The opening line is rather famous..I've seen it on bereavement greeting cards, etc.
