Smooth as oak-aged whiskey, Irish duo Oisin Leech (of the 747s) and Mark McCausland (of ) wax lackadaisical alongside acoustic guitar, hearts planted firmly in Simon Garfunkel's hands and Crosby Stills and Nash's .

From 1971, here's extremely poor man's Crosby Stills and Nash the insufferable America with their evergreen annoyance "A Horse With No Name." I believe the late great comedian Richard Jeni said it best: "You're in the desert. You got nothing else to do. Name the freakin' horse!" In any case, as always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to tomorrow's...

Hearing a new life-altering tune, Furay has been pastor of a Christian church outside of Denver since the '80's, but still tours as a solo performer.
