Joni Mitchell wrote a song about "the seductions of heroin, which I never did but was around it". --Joni Mitchell. Tim Curry covered it. I hope he never did it either. He probably knew someone who did. Paul Simon did a song called Paraphernalia, which I always suspected was aimed at Art Garfunkel.

I'm not sure if'n I remember it or not. I want to say I don't, but somewhere very deep I feel the slightest twinge of recognition. Maybe it was a commercial when I was too young to fully grasp it? Or maybe it was only regional? Apparently that cereal was earlier called something *slightly* different. See link below. "That is my FAVORITE Pagliacci!!!" That, again, shows the incredible, gaping divide between your appreciation for marching bands and my near-complete disdain for them (other than the Rattlers, as well-noted earlier). You should know whereof you speak, as you were in that world, and I wasn't.................but that truly is just so far outside of my comprehension as to defy quantizing. And while I'm not a very big fan of opera.............I *do* appreciate maybe 20-30%(?) of it. I'm not being critical or anything like that -- just noting the incredible difference.

This song is more popular today than when it was released due to the popularity of the series, "Stranger Things" that features the song. You can check out the original video, but I'm avoiding it because that video actually distracts from the music. Here is a recent "lyric" video: https://youtu.be/z_ovYEI7SJE About 18 months ago, Wye Oak performed "Running Up That Hill" as part of a cover series (see link below). Lead singer, Jenn Wasner, praised the song and Kate Bush lavishly before performing the cover.

Klepp's post was fairly vague. I assumed it to mean stealing George Harrison's wife. But it could be about he physical and sexual abuse of Boyd during their marriage. Care to clarify Klepp? Harrison and Clapton both made no-small fortunes writing wildly popular songs about her; so, regardless of the guilt, there was plenty of cash to ease the pain.

I just had an interesting, run-on thought - and then 'experience'. Was meditating on the possibilities of Eric's "guilt". I was thinking......."boy, he *has* been thru some stuff." And we really don't know who all actually *has* (metaphorically) been "down to the crossroads", other than Robert Johnson himself, of course. Did Eric also somehow make that deal? Just an idle sort of question -- until, as postulated in the "really different covers" thread, I did in fact go play "the best thing on gootube", referenced over on said thread. Which of course was the two Dereks version (of "Why Does Love Got to be so Sad", for those lost in this shuffle I've created) from, yes, Crossroads 2007. Wow - that hit me hard. Just sayin'. Eerie coincidence?

Brief aside: TN's post loops back to the film, "O Brother Where Art Thou," (set in 1937, the year Robert Johnson after released Cross Road Blues). In a pivotal scene in the film, the three travelers pick up a hitchhiker (Tommy Johnson) at a dusty crossroad. Tommy had sold his soul to the devil the night before. Tommy Johnson (IRL) was a blues musician, as is Chris Thomas King, the actor/musician/author playing Tommy in the film. However, the reference to Robert Johnson is, to borrow a word from the previous post, eerie.

Reverence for Clapton continues to elude me. It would be nice if outskirts gave a hint about where her link was going without you having to click on it. As I’ve said before, the best cover is also the best Rock-n-Roll song of all-time. It’s a better Dylan song and a better guitarist (IMHO), Hendrix, All Along The Watchtower. It’s got an Elo rating like Hop.

Richie Havens is a phenomenal live performer. I had the great fortune of seeing him at a smallish club-styled venue (tables and chairs, a la The Blue Note in NYC) in Denver sometime in 1973/74. He was gracious enough to stroll out and watch the warmup perform (literally arms length from our table). He played many of his mega-hit songs detailed immediately above. The tune that really lit up the crowd was his amazing cover of "Here Comes the Sun." The link below gives a rendition similar to the one I saw. The only real difference is that the first three or four bars were just the drum. This very well could be my favorite cover of all time.

CBS Sunday Morning had an interview with Paul Simon that was “nice” (aka, very tepid). Paul is, of course, one of the best songwriters of the 20th century. Paul mentioned “Sounds of Silence” as his first noteworthy song. Alas, the interviewer did not go on to ask about the Disturbed cover of Sounds of Silence which has now exceeded a Billion Views on YouTube. The Disturbed cover is excellent. One of the best covers in the history of music. Not sure why this would be off the table as a topic for discussion.

As I watched the interview, I saw a point where maybe they could have asked about the Disturbed cover. It was when Simon was discussing the evolution of the song into new meanings from 1966 to today. Perhaps the question was asked but wound up in the bit bucket. Simon certainly has addressed his (positive) reaction to the cover, and it's all over the internet.

I’m fairly certain I would never have come across it were it not for this discussion board. It’s really a great, eclectic set of opinions from a diverse, objective, and open set of individuals. I just can’t see how this wouldn’t have fit into the whole segment (if the CBS interviewer had any balls).

I have no difficulty understanding that “the best song ever written” is not necessarily “my favorite song”. I have a long list of favorite songs, and I have no idea what the best song ever written might be. So, I texted the questions to my two concert-going buddies. The first had no trouble identifying the best song as Joni Mitchell’s “Blue.” They didn’t respond to the favorite song question. My other friend basically told me to p*ss off: “a) How could I possibly know the best song ever written? Do I think or speak for the world as a whole? b) My favorite song depends on the genre, and I need a lot more time and significantly more alcohol before going down that path.”

Chris Stapleton covers Freebird in all of his concerts, much to the delight of those in the audience. Most of them would disagree with you, at least at that moment. Personally, I don’t think that Freebird is the best with a bird mentioned in the title.

Chris Stapleton covers Freebird in all of his concerts, much to the delight of those in the audience. Most of them would disagree with you, at least at that moment. Personally, I don’t think that Freebird is the best with a bird mentioned in the title.

I think it's pretty well scientifically established that this one fits that description. Whether it's *the* best song ever written is debatable. [And yes, I know this rendition has been posted previously - likely in the "Old music" thread.]
