so i just came home, and as any good dyke will do after a night of bowling and beer, i popped in a melissa etheridge album. i picked yes i am (which means i'm admitting to owning more than one m.e. album). and the first song is "i'm the only one." the bass line sounds great! and i think, "hmmm...sounds like pino to me." i check the liner notes, and, sure enough, it's mr. palladino.
i feel like i've arrived. i can "hear!"
it's no mistake he appears on all the best songs/hits on the album. something about his sound...
