Dave Davies has the gift of being a great songwriter as well.
He wrote one of my all time favorite songs in The Kinks in 1984 called "Living On A Thin Line".
I don't know how American radio missed that song.
The lyrics say even more now about our times than they did then.

I have played their greatest hit CD "Come Dancing With The Kinks, The Best Of/1977-1986. I constantly play it and am delving more into their earliest and latest albums.
Quite a broad musical scope they have.

I wish I could have been around to see them live.
