BOS3 Ms Ronstadt, "You're No Good". Her status as "queen of the cover versions" aside, this one worked because few had ever heard the original.

I eventually heard the original (Betty Everett, right?) many years later, and La Linda trumps it mightily.  Still, I associate this with '75 rather than '74.

ditto.  I mean, technically the LP came out in Nov. '74, but still...

Rob shows some Rockford love!  Sounds like the orig TV version of the theme.

Caught the wonderful james Garner the other nite on TCM in Boy's Night Out, one of those early-'60s sex comedies they used to call "frothy".  Kim Novak at her peak, too.

in deference to Gaz I won't WOS "Cat's in the Cradle", but I still say it's middlebrow sappiness writ large.

Little Feat - Rock and Roll Doctor
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel (US single mix)
Fleetwood Mac - Heroes are Hard to Find
George Harrison - Dark Horse
Neil Young - Walk On
Linda Ronstadt - You're No Good
Tom Waits - The Heart Of Saturday Night
Bad Company - Can't Get Enough
Harry Chapin - Cat's In The Cradle  
Elton John - Ticking

Dave's set yesterday was grand, but Rob has easily equalled if not topped it. That EJ alone is Most Welcome Surprise of Week for me.

god, i love her. someone go see her at the bluegrass fest and take pics, please!!! she's spot-on about the cost of education, too. i told a friend earlier today that i used to cut class to go to the town bookstore (not realising what i nerd i sounded like). imagine if my mother had saved the money for private school!!! well...i suppose i was more challenged in private school than in public school. and there's no way in hell i could have played the truant in private school as often as i did public school.
