"Hazy Shade of Winter"
Simon and Garfunkel
Bookends
1968
Did you ever meet one of those weirdos who like winter? I don't mean someone who lives in a warm part of the country, and idealizes fall and winter because everything they have seen on TV and in movies makes winter look all special.
Like that.
You can discount those people, as they have never lived through winter. If your worst winter day is that the ski chalet ran out of Hypnotiq, you have never experienced winter.
Winter is brown slush in the gutters. Winter is not being able to go outside because the air actually hurts you. Again : THE AIR HURTS YOU. I know warm weather can get uncomfortable, but it does not cause actual pain.
And yet, if you live in a cold weather part of the country, you will hear yahoos defending winter. Just ignoring the fact that winter literally hurts.
Those people should be drawn and quartered.
