Dr. Walsh ,'Potential'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
There's an image challenge on at B3ta right now. What if song lyrics were literally true? Half of them went over my head but some of the rest are damn funny.
Sean K: have you got a copy of "The Pleasure Barons" they do my favorite version of so many songs, including "Are You Drinkin' With Me Jesus?" or I should say, they did. RIP Country Dick Montana. You were a big big man.

Nay, I do not.
We saw them in LA and I'm pretty sure it was the best show I've ever attended. Country Dick, Mojo Nixon, Dave Alvin and two guys from X. After the show Country Dick totally hit on my sister-in-law.
edit: the Drinkin With Me Jesus song doesn't seem to be on that record. Now I wonder how I came by it.
joe, thanks for the Prine/DeMent link. Some friends of ours had the lyrics to In Spite of Ourselves printed on their wedding program.
Oh, Jilli, I think you need to see this.
The Gothics - a BBC feature from 1987. Dave Vanian and others.
Oh! Look at them all! Man, I miss having a real goth scene.
Bonus for Jilli, Black Parade art pad drawing
Another one for Jilli, rare Lene Lovich doing "Mata Hari" onstage. Very cupcake goth.
Also? Nina Hagen doing "Ziggy Stardust"
Cool! Stereolab plays "Les Ypres Sound" on Jools Live.

I'm having one of those "somene else has heard of her???" moments.
My brother's friend picked up a record (all in German) in the import section because it had a cool cover. Her cover of White Punks on Dope has been a party fixture since then.
