I love reading the die-hard fans reactions to the various songs.
For me, "Laurel Canyon" is one of the winners on F/D...perhaps I'm swayed because I was visiting the West Coast of the US for the first time when the album was released digitally and I got to hear "Laurel Canyon", repeatedly, while visiting a friend who just happens to live in...Laurel Canyon. So maybe the trip has colored my appreciation of the track but I don't think so (says the guy who thought ""Business Woman" sure gets a lot of undeserved grief from Steve and the fans"!).
