Ain't No Way in the World
I have been reading the Gregg Allman autobiography and
the the backstories to such great songs have been epic!

$5.98
The small cassette blew my mind, and really, in 1988 when Cory Rucobo played it in the Toyota Celica Supra he picked me up in, I wouldn't have known the difference if was Metallica or covers.
What I did know, was that it was fucking A legit. As a punk rock girl in in the late 80s, I was present for a pretty cool swapping of the tunes. The metal guys were into the Misfits and us, punk rock kids were now into Metallica. We had a middle ground.
Ya ya, as a old lady now, I see all the context, but it was different in late 80s midwest, where you stayed in your lane musically speaking.
I like to take note, now, of what holds water. I remember playing The Misfits for my dad, an hardcore blues guitarist, thinking he'd like it because it wasn't the Dayglo Abortions. And well, he kinda gave me a "nice try" pat on the head. I was pissed then, and now when I go back and listen, well, youre right pop, it doesn't hold water. Its crap musicianship. You better think about it baby.
I would not have played Garage Days for my pop, it was too fast, I thought, then....
Hind sight tho, that EP holds the water. and its great evidence of sometimes the cover if better than th OG.

The Great Gig in the AMC
Went to see Us and Them this week. I was really looking foward to hearing the Great Gig in the Sky in the theare on the big speakers, as I have never seen Pink Floyd live. The sound quality let me down, but rarely do you see a cover done better than the original. Clare Torry's vocals on the Dark Side of the Moon's Great Gig in the Sky are just jaw dropping. Make your heart skip a beat, feel everything prickle of skin on your body, amazing. The feeling I had for the ladies trying to do this a solid, was just a bummer.
I work closely with 2 24 year old guys, and I asked the one, we affectionately refer as "Young Bitch"
(thanks Pete Davidson) if he has ever seen the Wall.. really no? Who raises these kid? Really, no Pink Floyd? Amazing.
The ladies from Us and Them reminded me of the Buggles...
Has there ever been a cover of The Great Gig in the Sky better than Clare Torry? I reallylove the reaction YouTube vidoes.

- Sounds more authentic from a woman
- Bonnie Raitte kills it.
- I buy every word John Prine is saying thru her
- Magic
