that gets worse every time i hear it.

you went to a radiohead concert? serious?

Not exactly, it was a bridge school benefit concert which Neil Young puts on every year at the Shoreline amphitheater.

Although I should probably be offended byt this question, I refuse to be and will simply say that I am pleased to not only have been to a good concert triplet didn't even know about but also to be able to teach Mr. Popular Culture about the Bridge School Benefit concerts. IF you have never been you should try to come up this year and I'll go with you. Search on the web, you will see Brother Neil (almost) always has an eclectic lineup that brings interesting folks together.

When you're here you can FINALLY buy me the streak dinner you promised me at Vic Stewarts.

I can't find a good link to video or audio for it, but Quicksand covering "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths.

Ouch. Boylenover wins, hands down. That is so horrible it defies description. What was she thinking? People pay MONEY to see that? If vegas is ever burned like Sodom and Gomorrah it will be because of something like this, not all of its other vices.

People wait in line and throw down a lot of money for that.

Yet another argument for the MWC hoops tournament to never be held in Vegas.

Those people are the masses that are asses.

I must stop because in talking about Celine Dion I am like MpFunk talking about the Beatles; irrational and unreasonable.

This is assuming there is anything rational or reasonable about Celine Dion.

Landslide by the Smashing Pumpkins. I'll take Billy Corgan's voice over Stevie Nicks any day.

Also, Always on My Mind by Willie Nelson. Better than Elvis. Better than the Pet Shop Boys.

ha, sorry if my question read poorly. I actually was expressing surprise that you went to a radiohead concert specifically, not that you went to a concert, in general. In fact, I am not surprised at all that you would go to a Neil Young show. I had never really heard you express much interest either way in radiohead, so that is why I was surprised.

I had never heard of Bridge School Benefit shows. Sounds cool.

ps we need to plan the Vic's trip on a weekend that bluegoose is going to be out of town. Sounds like these days, he will show up with Steel and they will both be hungry from playing volleyball. I can't afford that many steaks.

Landslide by the Smashing Pumpkins. I'll take Billy Corgan's voice over Stevie Nicks any day.

The Dixie Chix version of landslide is pretty good as well.

James Taylor's versions of Everyday (Buddy Holly) and Up On the Roof are both solid covers. He's done several over the years tat I enjoy.

I've seen Brad Paisley in concert twice do Walk of Life by Dire Straights and thats a pretty good version as well.

Not surprisingly, Oasis has a number of Beatles covers, and I like those.

[Babs]

Also, Always on My Mind by Willie Nelson. Better than Elvis. Better than the Pet Shop Boys.

Didn't Brenda Lee originate that one? Man I can't stand Brenda Lee.

I didn't even realize Manfield Mann's Blinded by the Light was a remake until last week, but it's ten thousand times better than the original.

I prefer Garth's Shameless to Billy's.

Whitney's rendition of I Will Always Love You rivals the original.

UB40 improved on Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine, but then that's not saying much.

[Babs]

The Dixie Chix version of landslide is pretty good as well.

This one seems to me like the Don Henley song. Just as it seems absurd for the Ataris to try to sing that you can never look back, Natalie and company failed to convey the sense of retrospect and the struggle to come to terms with age that makes the original so powerful.

Babs, babs, babs. nothing is 10,000 times better than Bruce. Really. Nothing. But, to be truthful, Mannie Mann and his band do a fine job and I think it is an excellent cover.

Now whitney's version (sung pre-crack) not only rivals the original, it kills the original.

You are spot on. Stevie knew what she had written and sang about it with true feeling. Natalie whiny Maines misses the whole point of the song, and her phrasing is all wrong.
