    You beat me to it! Politically I disagree with this tune. However, it sure is one of the all time greats!

    I agree they do an amazingly good job with this Led classic. Maybe this link will work?

    Mr Nelson also does a solo job with this tune. Different strokes for different yadda. His solo version bites. Hard. Imnsho.

    This was the last song that Leonard Cohen wrote? Sincerely doubt that. It was covered by many, many artists. Long before I heard Leonard's own version. It is one of the greats. Jeff Buckley's take on the song is very well done. I could be wrong, and not the first time.

    This song pleasantly surprised me. Miley done good with this one. Can't say I find the young lady's version anywhere near a light year better than Dolly's.

    Nice song. However, Mr Cash was a real sheite to June Carter. Not widely known history yet, I guess.

    It's a classic. Dick Clark was a vampire, imho.

    Looks like Dr Hook and the Medicine Show deserve more credit than I give them. I suppose I heard "On the Cover of the Rolling Stone" one too many times.

    They shore did. Glad that Dr Hook turned out to be better than that "one hit wonder."

    Off topic, sorry. .223, a number that lives in infamy.

    No it doesn't! ":O}



    When everyone you like likes someone you don't, you need to ask what it is you are missing?

    Willy has duets with just about everyone above ground and more the a few now under the ground.. People who can tell anyone to go to hell. Yet there they are happy as clams to be standing next to him.
    Now Willy by all accounts is a very good person, but no one has to sing with him, They beg for the chance.

    So what are you missing George?

    If you can't tell, I like Dr Hook.There is a lot of humor in their music.
    I seem to remember having this conversation with you, George, back on AOA some ten or so years ago.
