Videos of Summer: A Horse With no Name (1972)

 Last night, America's current tour rolled into town, but concerts these days are mostly way too expensive for the expense account, so we passed.

2022 marks 50 years since the band's self-titled debut on Warner Bros. Records, and the first single, "A Horse With no Name", has been a staple of oldies & adult contemporary channels in recent years.

This song always reminds me of a joke by the late comedian Richard Jeni: "You were in the desert long enough to write an entire song, name the (gosh darn) horse!"

I have heard that there were supposedly drug connotations in the lyrics, which might explain why the horse didn't have a name.
