    for some reason, I could never like Tommy James and the shondells-
    Joan Jet covered it better IMHO. Course that could be my prejudice against T.J. and my like for Joan

    No prob, it's a good un'.


    There are so many male camera operators that lean the other way. Take the NFL... Do the cameras ever focus on the cheerleaders? Naw, it's from butt to male butt, all the way. Another reason I stopped watching pro football, many years ago.
    Sure, it's fine if the cameramen are gay---but how much of the audience is? More than I think, probably.

    This is the ultimate high school romantic tune imho. They will be listening to it in two hundred years.

    There are a confusing amount of editions of this song. Seems you got a good one!

    I know what you mean, PPM. There is SOMETHING about Tommy James that bugs me too. Can't put the finger upon it.

    Joan Jett does an excellent version of this tune. Very good choice, porporme!

    Aw shucks, couldn't resist this atypical (compared to his early work) Bob Dylan tune

    In San Diego you could not turn on a radio without hearing this playing. Because of this, this is the first time in 40 years that I actually listen to it...kinda stands up to time and advances George's argument that the best lives beyond our time.

    A friend of mine at the time pointed out that if you rolled down hill in a
    crimson clover field what you would see is
    'over and over
    crimson and clover."

    I once had the very great pleasure of planting Crimson Clover into a 5 ac.field. Clover is a fantastic soil rejuvenater and builder.It did my field much good and the cows loved it. The rest you plow under to build nitrogen.

    But that's not why I remember it.
    5 ac of Crimson Clover in full bloom is like opening a window into heaven.
    Your mesmerized into walking aimlessly though it, a million brilliantly red staffs pointing to the Sun. In that field I may have begun to wander my life away...":O}

    "I once had a farm in Africa"

    No wait,,,That was Watsonville Calif. ":O}

    There are people I really like but I'm not really in sync with the music they prefer.

    Sting is one those. This song overwhelms my resistance.

    I know nothing of what may have become of Roberta. This may be the only song I've heard her do.
    But she sounds a lot like love to me.
