Gotta correct you... Aretha’s version was first even though Carole wrote it. Carole’s version didn’t come out until Tapestry. :)

Love David Bowie’s “I’m Waiting for the Man” and then found out it’s a Lou Reed cover. It might be my favorite song, so it must be my favorite cover.

She’s a swinger, not public utility. She gets to choose who her partners are, and you don’t get to tell her how to choose them.

“Why would anyone want to steal a dead, naked body?

I just watched the new Murder on the Orient Express and I couldn’t help but think “I’m not a Frenchie, I’m a Belgie!”
