I always forget all the songs when someone asks me about favorite pop
songs.
But "When Doves Cry" by Prince is one of the most wonderful, bizarre
songs to be successful on the radio. The subject matter and musical and
lyrical styles aren't in the least formula. But the song is amazing.
I can't pick a particular U2 song in this category, best pop songs.
Maybe "I Trip Theough Your Wires"? Feels like a random choice, though.
I just can't do it, captain.
OtR was very good at Phoenix Hill. Great room, not so great venue, cos
they book 5 bands at once, and there was a big metal punk somethin' band
playing underneath. They bled through, a lot. It became white noise,
but it still wasn't the ideal thingummy. Karin was beautifully
diplomatic about it: 1) saying, as soon as it started, "I thought that
might happen tonight," with a patience that gave me patience; 2) actually
bopping her head to the music coming through, between songs; 3) at the
end, when the crowd was wanting more but the venue had booked another
band to follow Otr (if ya kin imagine), she said (I'm paraphraising),
"They're just tryin' to make money in show business. We're just tryin'
to make money in show business. Kim Taylor's just tryin' to make money
in show business. We're all . . . just tryin' to make money in show
business," and then sang. That last she said with that patient
Midwestern accent that is getting more pronounced for both K and L, and
it just defused the situation. Good kids, K and L.
Anyway, there were lots of plants, and that was nice. There was a very
drunk woman, which was okay, but sad. Jack made the valentine about the
other Jack real neat. Jack sang, but there were no orange oars. The
restrooms, as Karin said, are very nice. The floor slants downwards,
left down to right. Kelvin Bailey and I had some chattin'.
Time to get to work,
Fred
