All the Sweet Green Icing

"MacArthur Park" ~ the song, not the place ~ is turning 45, and to celebrate, Jimmy Webb, the man who wrote it (inspired by scenes he witnessed in MacArthur Park) will be performing it (in MacArthur Park). "I have no apologies," he says now. "It's just had a kind of wild and wacky and, ultimately, I guess, a wonderful existence as a song": http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-macarthur-park-jimmy-web-20130615,0,6353317.story
