Mr Petty, feelin' a whole lot better.

Ginger was talking about the Petty/McGuinn mututal admiration, but this is actually a Gene Clark composition.  Not that there's anything wrong with that & I'll still give it a BOS vote.

Ooooh, BOS #2 The Cure!  another song where the intro is practically a whole song by itself.

VHM Morgan Freeman in Glory.

wow, this Shawn Colvin song came out in '89?  I first heard it when I started listening to KFOG in '92.  It certainly didn't get any airplay in NYC.

VHM Morgan Freeman in Glory.

I was just checking IMDb to see if he got a nomination for that role (remembering of course the Denzel won), but he didn't. It did win 2 other Oscars, Cinematography & Sound, and was nommed for 2 more.

and props to Ginger for a deep cut off of Yellow Moon, instead of the ubiquitous title track.

Of course Mr Freeman got a Best Actor nom for Driving Miss Daisy instead. And lost to Daniel Day Lewis, iirc.

I think Ginger just tipped that we're about to hear Enya.

and you is, unfortunately, right.

that's right.  That was a year almost as weird as this past one, with lots of good movies knocking each other out of different categories, with Glory & Driving Miss Daisy & Born on the Fourth of July dividing up the major categories between them the way Crash & Brokeback did this year.

This guy (David Wilcox, per the KBCO "just played" feature) sounds a lot like James Taylor to these ears. A new one on me.

It's not that bad, but anyway some Pixies ought to make up for it!

BOS #3, "Here Comes Your Man"

Ditto, mildly shocked that it wasn't JT, especially after just hearing him in the Chi-town set.

indeed, and DMD was that rare Best Picture winner without a Best Director nom. Poor Bruce Beresford.  And thus did Oliver Stone win his 2nd Directing Oscar.
