[net.music] Southern Cross

bdd (12/22/82)

I realize that this song has been identified numerous times but I must
clear up something about the song.  The tunes was indeed written about 
an 80 foot sloop called the 'Southern Cross' but the vessel belongs to
Stephen Stills, not Crosby or Nash.  Regardless, the song is very good,
and if you are fortunate enough to have seen this song's video on MTV,
you can appreciate the song even more.

 Funny, I could have sworn that the song *was* about the constellation,
seeing as the lyrics go

     When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
     You understand just why you came this way...

Of course, the song is about other things too, such as Still's boat,
love, truth, zen and the art of making millions of dollars without
even trying, but any good song includes a multitude of concepts.
