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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

There were a bunch of interesting nominees that year (including first ones for Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Dan Aykroyd, Danny Aiello & Steven Soderbergh), snubs (nothing for Do the Right Thing except Aiello's) & egregiously undeserving noms (Robin Williams for Best Actor when he wasn't even the lead in Dead Poets Society, both that movie & Field of Dreams for Best Picture instead of either Crimes & Misdemeanors or Do the Right Thing.
