Put Your Life Into His Hands
Oh man. I loved the Cars from the very beginning, and I loved their debut (1978).
I exchanged a duplicate Beatles record received for Christmas for that first album.
Too perfectly brought to life by Queen producer Roy Scott Thomas.
Yet, if memory serves, that Midnight Special appearance was stupendously underwhelming, exposing all the flaws of this minimalist, poe faced unit. Their charisma worked very well in small venues. Not so much on the big stage, at least at that point.
YIkes.
Thanks for the inspiration, though.
Cars bits may follow,

I saw a Beatles Cover band. (Beatle Juice). They were pretty good.

Patty Griffin - Wikipedia
I discovered Patty Griffin in 1996 after hearing the song "Every Little Bit," which blew me away,
That song, a minor radio hit, featured on her debut the same year, "Living With Ghosts." A&M Records released a "stripped down version" of her demo, produced by Chic's Nile Rogers (who produced several hits, including David's most commercially successful album, the massive world wide seller "Let's Dance" [1983].)
Griffin can belt with the best of them then turn around and break your heart.
She is an exceptional songwriter who, in her own very different way, reminds of Neko Case. She's an honest artist.
"Living With Ghosts" was Griffin's response to a failed marriage, and almost every song on it is, to me, a gem.
Opening track,
Heartbreaker,
Closing track.
"The voice that speaks to you in the dark, in your terms, will not speak for long.
"Therefore, comfort it while you can,"
If you appreciate the above, so below,
"Rain" (No, not that one),
"Be Careful,"
"Burgundy Shoes,"
"Railroad Wings,"
Makes me think of my late, great eldest brother Greg, a dreamer with a heart of gold (and the fellow who introduced me to Neil),
"Nobody's Cryin',"
Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished,
( * "Peace be with you."
( "And also with you." *
(Perhaps the only good thing I got out of the Catholic church and, for me, its dreaded, tedious Sunday ordeal.
(Parishioners would greet each other with this exchange near the end of mass, after Communion. I always enjoyed the generosity of spirit exhibited, and the relief of knowing the service was nearly at its end.
(One time, I couldn't have been more than ten or eleven.
(A dignified and kindly old woman recited the incantation and added, "May you never go to war."
(I have great respect for the military, and several family members have served, and continue to do so.
(I have not. I am grateful that I have never seen war.
(And I hope I never do.)
Peace Out,
