'Heart Of Gold'
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.
My reactions to various commercial co-options...
My favourite of these was an Australian airline (now defunct) that used The Who's "My Generation" as a theme tune. Dudes, you're an airline. You're using a song that includes the lyrics "I hope I die before I get old." Think about it.
It's a full service airline.
Is it any weirder really than a cruise line using "Lust for Life"?

I have a request for DC-area musicistas.
My friend and I are putting together a show of music and other entertainment to benefit the House of Ruth, a local battered women's shelter. It's called EstroFest, this is the third or fourth annual one, and it traditionally features bands that have women members. It celebrates the Ladies Rocking, you know.
We'd like to get a band from DC to play but are not familiar enough with the scene down there to know who we might ask. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Mary Timony just moved back to DC.

ooh. i'll have to figure out how to get in touch with her. thanks.
I can probably get her in touch with you...
t edit Where and when is the show?
Jon, that would be wonderful. The show will be July 30th at the Ottobar in Baltimore. It is usually fairly well attended and gets pretty good local press. We'd love to have someone who'd draw a good crowd and make more money for the shelter. They do amazing work here.
My profile address is good. Thank you so much.
