I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

I think the guy's name was probably A Horse With No Name, and the horse didn't have a name

Theres no way for us to be sure but this seems eminently reasonable.

Are we sure he didn't compel a native of the desert to give him passage? And that perhaps that native man's name was A-Horse-With-No-Name?

"In the desert, on a horse with no name." It's the horse that doesn't have a name.

"I'm riding through the desert on a horse with no name."

The Bold part is a prepositional phrase, technically those can be stripped out of sentences completely without changing the meaning, making it...

"I'm riding through the desert with no name."

So, I can see what the OP was asking. The sentence structure is a bit vague.

when I was a kid, I thought the Yes song went "Owner of a lonely horse, much better than, owner of a broken horse" and I would just nod my head and agree.

The bass player in the band America was a man called Dan Peek.

He had such a gigantic heroin habit in the 70s that Steven Tyler at the height of his drug problems would continually refuse to seek help or go into rehab as in his opinion his habit/cosumption was small compared to Dan Peeks therefore he was fine.

This has been a pop fact brought to you by Hitchensgoespop from the internet.

Thanks for reading.

It's from the guy's perspective. That's why it's named after him. I'm thinking he was maybe Native American?

The horse and the man are different, although the man was probably named after the horse.
