The Beatles and Donovan both made some of the defining songs of the 1960s. Donovan revealed that "Sunshine Superman" reused a musical trick that was in several Fab Four songs.
Donovan was there during The Beatles' trip to India. He and the Fab Four were having the sort of heady conversation people should have at a spiritual retreat.
Kenny Loggins spoke of one Elvis Presley song in religious terms. He didn't mention that the King of Rock 'n' Roll was not the first singer to record the song.
President Jimmy Carter was asked to pick his favorite Beatles song, and he chose a song from John Lennon's solo career. The former president discussed how the tune affected audiences.
Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" was one of the best songs of the British Invasion that wasn't by The Beatles. It's a perfect mix of psychedelia, pop, the avant-garde, and the mainstream.
Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" is the best song ever written about the concept of suspicion. It wasn't the first time the King of Rock 'n' Roll tackled the subject.
The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" inspired a fabricated word from one of Donovan's songs. Donovan also revealed that a member of Led Zeppelin was a fan of his drumming.
John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" isn't the sort of song that's ripe for a dance remix. That didn't stop DJ Dan from releasing a dance version of the track.
Taylor Swift's "Cardigan" is one of the most interesting No. 1 hits in years. The singer explained why "Cardigan" was different from some of her earlier music.
