QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

This gun's for hire, and so is this song

This is the two basic ways to enjoy a cover song. (a) The cover isn't very different from the original, but it's by someone you love, so it's still enjoyable. (b) The artist changes it not just ToBeDifferent, but changes it in such a way that you hear the song in a whole new way. 

(a)

Does anyone remember they integrated her weird Fabio sax player into Thunderdome? ...No? Anyway here, for my mother's birthday:



(b)
This won't get you dancing around the living room, but it's incredible. My ear focused on different lyrics than it usually does.

Thx for the birthday shout out Terri! One of my fave songs as you know.

I was couch dancing while the Brat Pack snoozed throughout. They make me feel young some days. ;)

I'd forgotten that Tina had such a stage of hotties behind her. Love her rendition of absolutely anything. However John's rendition was a revelation. His stuff is always great but he really brought out the poetry in Bruce's song, didn't he?

Hugz & kisses!
