Very good point, Daniel. I'll try to keep any less than favorable opinions to myself. And in that vein I won't explain formulaic.

Van Morrison was the originator of this tune.

Such a happy ditty. I admit that this guy is new to me. Leave it at that.

It's one of Robert Cray's most memorable songs. First time I heard it the punch line rather took me aback.

Sure, it's OK. But the original is the one that comes to mind.

Talk about formulaic. Shouldn't point the finger at this group I suppose, thousands of artists and artiste manques are guilty of the same thing.

It is a good song. But I so wish she hadn't patented the bald woman look. Sigh. Yes, so I'm prejudiced, I like hair on women.

I was stranded once but fortunately or not didn't have a car to fix with no moolah to my name.

Some of his earlier material left something to be desired, imho. What am I daring to say here? As if anything I ever did in music was ever in the same universe as Mr Kottke's? The shame, tsk tsk.

A former musical partner in crime's, JK! mom drove a taxi in Seattle for many years. She gave Joan Jett and a friend of hers a ride to a laundromat. The women said they loved the time alone and out of the spotlight. My pal asked his mother "did you get an autograph?" "No" she answered, "I didn't...

Not one of my favorite groups, but in this version the cat does really sing.

Yeah, but fortunately they weren't this dramatic and loud. Slums of Capitol Hill, Seattle.

Holy crap, this guy is something else! Well done, a-sneakin' into NYC nightclubs as a teenager! Thank you very much for adding this to my catalog of artists! I gotta tell ya, Mink Deville plays some serious Latin musica, it's the real deal. Thank you very much for sharing this with us, you...

The above Graham Parker post deserves one that cheats a bit, because it's from years later. I am a stone Huey Lewis and the News fan, in fact I used to smoke weed with him.

If we're in a quotation mood I like this one that comes right before the preface of John LeCarre's "The Honorable Schoolboy:" I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return -W.H. Auden But does this excuse the most...

Thank you for posting this, ThunderRd. I was woefully unaware of Graham Parker. Shame on me!

Wowsa, this is an amazing song. It's heavy and a bit light. Well done, great choice!

Joan is really in her own class. I like the inventiveness in the second video you posted here. She can be pure soulfulness too.

Quite an "adult" song, as in it sure ain't teenagers in this tune. Here's another "adult" song, Miss Norah Jones:

Credence is one of my most favored bands. I also very much like the work that John Fogerty put out after Creedence Clearwater Revival.
