35+ years later, this is still the greatest live show I have ever seen:

Iggy was immense. It was the middle of July, and the venue was so hot, he was cloaked in the stream rising from his body, like some ghostly apparition. For the chorus of "Five Foot One", he was hanging upside down from the pipes in the ceiling above the mosh pit. And after what my buddy called "The 120 minute Iggy Pop workout", he was outside waiting under the awning at the front of The Channel, thanking the crowd for attending as they filed out.

saw him at a local fest last year, legend, I did not record this footage, found on interwebz

Thank Acie for Steve and some Humble Pie for Halloween

My favorite version of the Yusuf Islam classic,



Rod the Mod covers Bonnie Tyler's 1977 hit,



Favorite version of the Tom Waits tune.

Commercial, true. But Rod's voice was made for this song, and its pathos remains intact,




Who is Rod Stewart?

Who is Rod Stewart?

An underrated gem. My favorite Rod Stewart song.

My favourite guest appearance by a guy named Rod.



And my favourite cover of a Rod song.

When my Brother brought this album home Mom threatened to move out



Blue Cheer the year before had pushed her to the limit

There's a sitcom in here somewhere.

Actually, I never watched the show. Not once,



Meanwhile, back at the ranch,

Mathew McConaughey is a sleazy hoot; Ben Affleck appears as the quintessential high school bully (the kind who had to repeat 9th grade, twice); Rory Cochrane at his scene stealing best; spot on Wiley Wiggins as the story's youngest protagonist; and a stellar class of beautifully cast unknowns (Milla Jovovich, Adam Goldberg, Parker Posey, Joey Lauren Adams) later to find success.

Drector Richard Linklator's mash note to the '70s,

Truly, his finest achievement,



The kids started smoking banana peels.

My favourite guest appearance by a guy name Rod.



And my favourite cover of a Rod song.

I remember hearing In a Broken Dream on FM radio. The DJ says that was Python Lee Jackson. I said, no it isn't, its Rod Stewart!

I think this song is appropriate right about now, no matter what happens......Tom Petty is never wrong.

A year ago I was in the ICU, followed by a week in the hospital and then two weeks in a mental health facility. Skip the first two but after a couple of different results from last evening door number 3 doesn't seem a bad option

Taking some of The Carpenters stuff from the main thread back here, there's an album of Carpenters covers out there called "If I were a Carpenter", done by alternative and punk bands. The whole album is great, but the standout is this gem from Sonic Youth:



I especially love that they put Kim Gordon behind the drums for some of the video as a tribute to Karen (Kim actually plays bass). Mad respects.

Superstar was written by Leon Russell, who at the time had never heard the term, and Bonnie Bramlett and had " groupie" in the original title. That wasn't ever going to fly with The Carpenters image and Groupie and the songs context were altered for their cover.
