    Credence is one of my most favored bands. I also very much like the work that John Fogerty put out after Creedence Clearwater Revival.

    Obviously a mature talent refined in her approach and delivery. We she and I, don't have quite the same taste in music, but I'd probably never get up to turn her off.":O}

    Quite an "adult" song, as in it sure ain't teenagers in this tune. Here's another "adult" song, Miss Norah Jones:

    Joan is really in her own class. I like the inventiveness in the second video you posted here. She can be pure soulfulness too.

    Wowsa, this is an amazing song. It's heavy and a bit light. Well done, great choice!

    Thank you for posting this, ThunderRd. I was woefully unaware of Graham Parker. Shame on me!

    If we're in a quotation mood I like this one that comes right before the preface of John LeCarre's "The Honorable Schoolboy:"

    I and the public know
    What all schoolchildren learn
    Those to whom evil is done
    Do evil in return

    -W.H. Auden

    But does this excuse the most evil ones that hold the whip over our heads?

    The above Graham Parker post deserves one that cheats a bit, because it's from years later. I am a stone Huey Lewis and the News fan, in fact I used to smoke weed with him.

    Yeah, but fortunately they weren't this dramatic and loud. Slums of Capitol Hill, Seattle.

    A former musical partner in crime's, JK! mom drove a taxi in Seattle for many years. She gave Joan Jett and a friend of hers a ride to a laundromat. The women said they loved the time alone and out of the spotlight. My pal asked his mother "did you get an autograph?"
    "No" she answered, "I didn't want to intrude on their down time."

    My pal was PO'd, he was a big fan of Joan.

    Some of his earlier material left something to be desired, imho. What am I daring to say here? As if anything I ever did in music was ever in the same universe as Mr Kottke's? The shame, tsk tsk.

    It is a good song. But I so wish she hadn't patented the bald woman look. Sigh. Yes, so I'm prejudiced, I like hair on women.
