I knew who Ronnie Milsap was before I knew who The Beatles were.  I mean the real Beatles, not the Beetles muppet band on Sesame Street – I knew the Beetles before The Beatles or Ronnie Milsap.  But sometime between age 15 and 25, I stopped listening to Ronnie Milsap and began listening to The Beatles.  A lot.  As a result, when I hear Ronnie Milsap’s Back On My Mind Again, I automatically think of Ringo Starr singing Octopus’s Garden.

How unfortunate – even if huge amount of the music was . . . borrowed . . . Ronnie did it better.  And his song actually makes sense.
