The only question I have is, “Who cares?” Of all the things you could argue about, this is one of the dumber ones I’ve seen.

Imagine the sunset sky, the warm desert waves
The breeze blows, ooh I’m close to you
You’re kissing me, I’m here [...]

Turning it in now that I realize it’s only about six hours until I have to leave to get to SD. Looking forward to trip, but not the travel.
