Ha! I played "Greenbacks" this AM!
If Lincoln don't get it, Jackson surely will!
And we live to fight another day.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Damn.
WBUR (the Boston NPR affiliate) is replaying a 1998 Fresh Air interview with Ray Charles right now. Streaming audio is available, natch.

Do you know that song, Jen? Or did you just read the lyrics?

And "That Lucky Old Sun" is pretty much perfect, even with the JAck Halloran singers.
I was about to say the same thing. Makes me well up just about every time.

hayden, thanks for all the alt-country recommendations you gave me a while back. I've been slowly working my way through them; most recent purchase was the Mekons' "Fear and Whiskey," which is really wonderful. I love Neko Case, too.

My pleasure! Especially if you're enjoying them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"I was out late the other night / fear and whiskey kept me going / and I dreamed that someone held me tight / but today there's just no way of knowing...."
I never get tired of that lyric.

I never get tired of that lyric.
It's like the drunken, unpretentious version of that Smiths song: "Last night I dreamt / that somebody loved me / no hope, no harm / just another false alarm".
