Musical Gems - Diary
Like my post on Lobo's song, "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend," this post is about a song of unrequited love. This song is by the soft rock group, Bread, and dates from the same year, 1972. It is called "Diary."

Musical Gems - Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend
Music resonates with emotion, and love is one of the strongest emotions. Last week I did a blog post about Dan Fogelberg's song, "Same Old Lang Syne," which was about an encounter with and old flame. Today and tomorrow I am posting songs about unrequited love. That is, love that is not returned by the object of one's affection.
The first is "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend", by Lobo. Lobo is the stage name of Roland Kent LaVoie, who was born in 1943 in Tallahassee, Florida. He had a string of soft rock \ easy listening hits in the Seventies. These included, "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" and "I'd Love You to Want Me." This song and "I'd love You to Want Me," are both from his 1972 album, Of a Simple Man.
