Bonus-BOS to "Holiday Road" or whatever it is they're singing in the NL's Vacation song.

I wanna hear the whole thing! Lindsey Buckingham doing the best Kenny Loggins imitation EVER.  Woulda been my BOS fer shurr!

ditto!

[ggould]

well, I no longer repeat myself, I now recognize this as somebody or other doing a song called "Whistle Down the Wind"  but Pina Palladino's bass line leaves everything else about the song in the dust.

VHM Nick Heyward, "Whistle Down the Wind". ending tastefully, as Dave will no doubt say.

"hope you're feeling fine/ hope you're feeling mine" indeed!

"Daddy says I'm the best."

Yuck.

Sick and wrong.  But funny.

Yeah, now everytime I hear Jackson Browne I think about your snarky comment!  Hey, his early stuff is great.  This era leaves me pretty unmoved.

for the clueless, that is what comedians call a "callback".  See a previous thread for pocs Leonard Cohen/Jackson Browne remark.

We now return you to our previously scheduled thread...

you know, i have his albums, i really like his songs...and his voice is nice. but there's something about the voice/music combo. makes me want to punch him, or something.

I think his overtly political '80s stuff holds up quite well, relevance-wise.

For slipping in Would I Lie To You from 85... no one emailed him i guess?  or was I just not listening carefully enough...

(trying to do about 10 different things at once here...)

I emailed him, just as I did the other day when he played a song from the wrong year.

I gotta agree with you. His albums through the 70s were great, but he seemed to lose something post-Running On Empty that he only regained in part and for a short time on his Lives in the Balance (the overtly political stuff Mike made reference to) from which I believe we heard a track last week. But since that time I can't say I've heard anything new of his that even remotely stands up. (And the Hold Out album, which directly followed Running on Empty, is TERRIBLE--shows the negative effect cocaine can have on an artist, I think.
