I’m always careful not to play the ‘alternative’ version of Beautiful South’s ‘Don’t Marry Her’ \u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I never knew that Black Betty was a traditional song that folk singer Leadbelly popularized before his death way back in 1949. His version is a cappella.<\/p>\n
Lobo – just some of his lyrics —<\/p>\n
“Now it took time for me to know
\nWhat you tried so not to show
\nNow something in my soul just cries
\nI see the want in your blue eyes”<\/p>\n
Maybe I shouldn’t have described Phil Collins as “That Little Bald Drummer”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I read somewhere that Michael Stipe, vocalist from REM used to claim that he could forecast earthquakes as he got a headache a few days in advance of them hitting.<\/p>\n
