I think you guys have ruined Linda Ronstadt for me!  I'm on a "Hurts So Bad" kick, listening to a multitude of covers (sorry, but that "please don't go please don't GO" moment is nailing me right now), and can't enjoy her version like I used to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbYurJjwk9E (doesn't help that she closes her eyes for the whole thing, refusing to engage or be engaged, so I guess she doesn't have to worry about seeing him again).

Try to avoid the Lettermen's version. They make Pat Boone look like Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

Can I just tell you: That was the first version I ever knew, my mom having the Lettermen on 8- track in the late '70s.  I's warped!

I can't watch Glen Campbell shaking his stuff in short shorts. I wish Jerry were wearing the shorts instead!

Best Reason Yet for YouTube's Very Existence

This is my favorite Monty Python sketch (it's not on their official list yet): "Biggles Dictates a Letter."

Could have also put this one under the "sellout" thread that was running yesterday:

And then someone had a bit of fun cutting that up to make this (NSFW):

Let's get right to it.

And y'all wonder why I think the Sex Pistols were/are a novelty act.

And I actually agree: They were certainly far closer to one than the Ramones, who had a long career doing exactly what they wanted to do. The Pistols were, basically, the Monkees of punk.
