oh wait i was suppose to talk about Talking Heads and I agree with Naive Melody and Nothing But Flowers—both just incredible—but I'm going to add a little gem from Naked called Mommy Daddy You and I.

When I read "Bring It On Home To Me" it reminded me of "Bringing It All Back Home" and somewhere in the Maggie's Farm Subterranean Homesick Visions of Johanna Million Dollar Bash of Dylan's great period there may lie the favorite.

one time i had the random good luck to be driving a rental car through the Mulholland hills and Free Fallin' came on and I was right in the thick of them when he wanted to fly down over them.

Nothing is spookier and haunting than the opening of Gimme Shelter.

Hey! I remember watching that Frankenstein: True Story thing as a kid and thinking "Oo, I'm watchin' something classy!" Yeah. I wonder what'd be like to see now…..

Country music used to be even more closed-minded than some would say it is now; having Neil Young on his show to sing "The Needle and The Damage Done" wasn't, as you point out, marching to Selma. But it was pretty wide-open and big-hearted and non-conformist, and those are the things about him that are attractive.

He has to stretch this out over a whole year and you KNOW he doesn't want to go rushing all headlong into Josh Turner and Blake Shelton and Craig Morgan. He's got to got slowwwwly.

Maybe Rick'll do one with Neil Sedaka.

My thoughts are like an oldtime movie bout a ghost from a wishing well right now, by the way.

You're right, beans—I'm mostly responding to the producers. I bought a Columbia Greatest Hits awhile back and you have to readjust your ears for every track.

Hey! It's the Indiana Beach Crow!!

I think Updike deals with a similar situation in "Memories of the Ford Administration."

Xanadu
