January 4: Gone Hollywood

Hollywood is a weird place, a tough place to try and make it. Supertramp knew this from experience, and led off their seminal 1979 effort "Breakfast In America" with this pastiche of how quickly fate can take a turn in La La Land. They chose this song to set the tone for the philosophical musings of "The Logical Song", and tales of the difficulty of interpersonal relationships like "Goodbye Stranger" and the title track, cementing their legacy as one of the more thoughtful acts in the rock pantheon.
