This song was written by Danny Whitten. He was struggling with heroin addiction to manage rheumatoid arthritis pain.
Whitten wrote “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” for Crazy Horse’s 1971 album. He was later dismissed from Neil Young’s band and never performed it with Crazy Horse.
Witty comment from Geoffrey
Listen to my song on ” I don’t want to talk about it”
I followed this icon, Jason, since I joined singing WeSing.
Initially, I didn’t know how to read his name in Chinese… so, I called him long-hair guy (LHG).. whenever I talk to my sister about him. Later, I was told he cut his hair short. So he became SHG to us. Until he told me that I could call him Jason.
When my sister sent me his pictures, I ask her, ‘Wow, does he really have a six-pack abdomen? That would be a really hard work! I was very impressed with the very good photographic works here!
I think he would make a good model as well, an actor…. and a good DJ! I like to hear his story about Thai cultures. Ah… I forgot, he is, of course, a good singer, too! I don’t have many duet songs with him, though.
He claims to be a former cancer patient. I wish him a healthy new year and always!

Entrance to the mall
Walking around those Christmas trees and Teddy bears
I was impressed with a young man massaging an old man’ shoulder. I gave a thumb up approvingly to him and an old man on a wheelchair. Such an act of filial piety nowadays is rare, indeed!
Then, I met a lady and a teenage boy tagging behind her with a camera. I offered to take a photo for them as they were waiting at the spot that I was posing with my family.
When I asked her where she was from because she was wearing a long overcoat. She must be feeling cold at the mall. And she said, ‘MALAYSIA’!
And you? I smiled, ‘Malaysia, too’! And she said, ‘You look like a foreigner!’ Me? With my hair tied up into two bunnies and wearing casual T-shirts and shorts?
In a global society, any locals can look like a foreigner, too!
“Where Do I Begin?” was famously recorded by Andy Williams. It was from the 1970 film Love Story, with music by Francis Lai and lyrics by Carl Sigman. The song became a classic ballad about deep, lasting love.
