•  How Paul grew up with the music Jenny had a first-hand account of this music

•  How Jenny is a part of rock and roll nobility if you will

•  How music today doesn't have the same social relevance as it did in the 60s and 70s

•  We wonder what has changed, why aren't artist tapping into the zeitgeist like that used to

Here's the song on iTunes and below are the lyrics:

[Verse 1]

What will you do when you get lonely

And nobody is waiting by your side?

You have been running and hiding much too long

You know it is just your foolish pride

[Chorus]

Layla, you've got me on my knees

Layla, I am begging, darling, please Layla

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

[Verse 2]

I tried to give you consolation

When your old man had let you down

Like a fool, I fell in love with you

You turned my whole world upside down

[Chorus]

Layla, you've got me on my knees

Layla, I am begging, darling, please Layla

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

[Verse 3]

Let us make the best of the situation

Before I finally go insane

Please, don't say we will never find a way

And tell me all my love in vain

[Chorus]

Layla, you've got me on my knees

Layla, I am begging, darling, please Layla

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

[Chorus]

Layla, you've got me on my knees

Layla, I am begging, darl
