I like Seal generally, but I REALLY like this accoustic version of "Crazy".

Sounds like Debbie Harry singing "Golden Years" to me.  Quite nice.

Seeing Tammy Faye on "The Surreal Life" gave me a measure of sympathy for her.  Hard not to think that she was puppetmastered by Jimbo throughout that dreadful period.

I haven't been paying close attention to the lyrics, but did someone mention to her that the A train doesn't go anywhere near Madison Avenue?  She should be taking the 4/5/6.

So this set has been about 70% straight up Morey (Sting, Bonnie, CH...) but redeemed by a couple of tunes that we've clamored for (Zevon other than in '78, Christy MacColl).  The latter by itself rates this a B+.

She certainly is a needy person, which explains why she'd hook up with someone like Bakker. But I just found the whole "they hated me because I was nice to AIDS patients" thing a too-convenient hook for her to hang her image-rehab on, especially when that image-rehab was targeted (cynically?) at queens.  Not that there wasn't some truth to it, mind you.

Um, I don't think she's implying that it is.  "from an uptown apartment to a night on the A-Train, it's not that far" means you can go from being rich to being homeless in the blink of an eye, at least that's my interpretation.

Oh, whoops, I was thinking she was talking about how easy it is to get around.  I'll pay actual attention next time.  So where is she in relation to Odyssey's native New Yorker who got out of the cab at Lexington and East 33rd?

It's not your day:  No mention of Lexington in "NNY" and it's East 83rd as far as I've always known.  Interestingly, every lyric site mondegreens it as "when he dropped you off, and he stated firm" (wha???)[/b]

"Here Comes the Rain Again" which Ginger says is perfect for today.  Is she refering to Hurricane Rita or is it raining in Boulder right now?

WooHoo!!  I hope y'all are listening to the Special AKA "Free Nelson Mandela".

Maybe there's hope for us after all.  This song actually came true & I don't think anyone in 1984 could have predicted anything other than a bloody civil war in SA.  I know I couldn't & I was majoring in this stuff at the time.
