Hard to Say I’m Sorry – Chicago (1982)

You Got Another Thing Coming – Judas Priest (1982)
Mama Said – The Shirelles (1961)
Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home) – The Impalas (1959)
Cryin’ – Aerosmith (1993)

Laurie Anderson: Excellent Birds
Hey Truth, good to see you! Hope you are well. I love Laurie Anderson. I saw her years ago in Oakland — one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

Hi e’cat, thanks, I’m fine, I hope you too.
Yes, I like Laurie Anderson, she creates interesting stuff. The concert must have been great! I watched a few videos with her and Lou Reed, and thought it was interesting how they communicated through music. Then I came to find out that they are married – makes a lot of sense!

Some good old gold: Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven
“Let’s forget about the whining and the cryin’ and the shootin’ and the dyin’ and the fella with the switchblade knife…”
Ok, it was only the Eurovision Song Contest and although it’s not at all apparent, the contest is about the composers and not about the performers. Still I think Anna Rossinelli (because of whom I paid attention to the show in the first place) should have been amongst the top 5 (and most certainly not last!!!). Not the best song, but an excellent band from Basel, Switzerland:
Bito, thanks so much for covering on the music thread! I was sidelined unexpectedly today! You’re a friend and a pal!

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings -- 100 days 100 nights
The guy who started the label and the band is the white bassist in the back. He worked for Rick Rubin for a while, and spun off on his own to create a label that focused solely on 50′s soul music. He records all of his music and videos on original equipment from that era. Sharon Jones was a lady he found in his Brooklyn neighborhood working at a laundrymat I believe. Purist.
