Steph! I went and saw Lyle Lovett for the first time night before last and thought of you. He was FANTASTIC.
Right on! I haven't seen him in concert in a couple of years. Must rectify that.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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.

That's nuts.
Tell me about it. You'd be amazed how many times I've heard it.
I gotta run (I am inside on a gorgeous day when there is a pool 20 yards away - talk about nuts) but I really want to hear what you have to say about the new Stevens album. I am absolutely loving it.

I've misplaced it somewhere at home. I'll be getting the errant Skinny Arms disc out to you today. I have to admit I've been enjoying it at work this week.

That's nuts. Neil was a huge Skynyrd fan, and really respected them. He even played "Sweet Home Alabama" on stage with them at least once.
More than that, he wrote "Powderfinger" for them, and only recorded it himself when they passed on it. Imagine that for a second.

Was it an older song or did he write it post-crash? Great song. Hard to hear it w/o Neil doing it, though. Seems like I once read that Neil commented that he was honored to be involved with any song as good as "Sweet Home Alabama". We did a gig around 1990 or 1991 with a band that did a live mash-up of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Werewolves of London". It was pretty great.

That I don't know. But yeah, I love the hell out of that song.

This song has me running for the stop button.

Really? I love that song so much. I used to sing it to L'il Sphere sorta absent-mindedly until my wife pointed out that I always sing songs where someone ends up dead (the others were "Omie Wise" and "1952 Vincent Black Lightning," presumably).

I don't know what it is about that song. I think it's Neil's voice. But as soon as I hear "Look out Mama, there's a white boat comingup the river." start to seethe. It's the same with the Beach Boys and "Sloop Jon B."

I've gotten to where I can accept "Sloop John B" as a speed bump on Pet Sounds, but it annoys me out of the context of that album. "Powderfinger," though, gives me that feeling that I suspect most drunken frat boys get when "Sweet Home Alabama" starts up. I wanna air guitar madly and holler the lyrics, all while hopping around like a loon.
