This week we’ve been entertained with the Republican version of the circus side show, otherwise known as CPAC. We’ve seen The Woman-Hating Human Turtle (Mitch McConnell), The World’s Biggest Liar (Mitt Romney), The Sheep-Headed Boy (Rand Paul) and The Wealthiest Dung Beetle (Donald Trump).
So this weekend’s music theme is about unusual and unique people, those that are beguiling, those that are strange, those that stand out in a crowd or those who are simply unforgettable.
People Are Strange – The Doors
Psycho Killer – Talking Heads
Who Are You – The Who
Far Away Eyes – Rolling Stones
She’s Not There – Santana
Nowhere Man – The Beatles
Ted Hawkins, discovered as a homeless street singer
not music but pretty strange:

KT, hope you feel better soon. My brain is too tired to think creatively. I did wonder if Mrs Robinson might not have been a little strange but likable.

IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH REED ~ THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

Nobody really knew who she was. Some of the members of the band used to sit in a cemetery and a play music, and they took notice of this one tombstone and decided to dedicate this wonderful piece of music to her, who was completely unknown.
Tom Waits – Martha

Some songs bring a tear to my eyes. This is one of them. Martha is so many women and Tom is so many men. That special one that will always remain special.
KT, I really like Tom. Great pick.
Willie Nelson-Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground
Abraham Martin and John
Harry Nilsson – Mournin’ Glory Story
Joni Mitchell – Furry Sings The Blues
