: Emotional Rescue. "I will be your Knight in shining armour." Egad! If Mick had pronounced "knight" the way the crazy Frenchmen in Monty Python's The Holy Grail...kuh-nig-its...I could have lived with it. My Mom always says that if you don't have anything good to say....well I don't have anything good to say about that stinking piece of rat filth so I'll stop now.
: Easy Keef, I didn't say it sucked.
: SS
I've thought the Shining Armour" part was sexy.
The worst lyrics have to be an instrumental jam.
Because they are no worst lyrics!!! To me, there
is none, to others maybe.
2000 Man mentioned Emmylou Harris. I didn't know
people like her here. I love her.
Leaving Lousiana in the broad day light is just
good olde plaing good.
But there is another country singer that I'm finding
out about...Iris DeMent! She does a duet w/
John Prine called "In Spite Of Ourselfs"
Everytime it's played on my community radio, I just
gotta sing along.
Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings is one of Prine's
finest work.
Yeah, sorry to most but Tom Waits is not for me.
My alternative to the Stones is low down ranchy
country. IE Steve Earl. I have him doing Dead
Flowers. His version of "Don't Take Your Guns To
Town" is close to Memory Motel.
But staying as far as I can from Garth.
I've always liked Mississippi John Hurt a disc
called "Today"
Good country and good blues is a Lousiana Recipe.
