Joni has been ill a lot of years, so when the grumpy guss starts flowing, everybody needs to get out of the way. It's sad that beautiful voice was ravaged by 50 years of smoking non-stop. Lovely song though.

Nice cover

I love her quote about Madonna and America.


Watching that video Im thinking, "One woman.  A guitar.  A voice.  And shes entertaining millions of a tv audience."

Never knew much about his band or him.  His voice is incredible.

Great solo version of Sinner.

XTC strike me as a band that are almost great. I've got quite a few of their albums, I like them and feel like I should get excited by them but never quite do.

Yeah, it makes you wonder what would have happened to them if the Dumb and Dummer producers used the XTC original of Peter Pumpkin Head instead of a cover by Crash Test Dummies.  At least CTD was very faithful to the original.

Dumber! 

[Mervap]

I wonder if the guys in XTC were contacted about using the original? Must find out...

A couple from Luba.

 Man, she had some pipes.

She should do a Bond Theme.  They should seek her out to do a Bond Theme song.

(And XTC is a great band)

Two, that was a little slice of smooth heaven!

Yeah, I've always been intrigued by singers who's phrasing is kind of all over the place, but it makes sense to the lyrics. Sinatra does it too. Van Morrison. Elton John. Probably others I don't recall at the moment. It's kind of cool really. You have a beautiful melody backing you, but the lyrics are more important. Here's another of his songs that Costello had a bit of a hit with.

Charles Aznavour

I'm having a déjà vu moment. Have I done this before? 

[Greg]

Old Fashioned Way.  That was very Bert Kampfert-sounding as the backup band.  Great tune.

Oh my, I really liked that Bap Kennedy. Sad to see he passed away last year.
