Just seeing who could catch the trick…

Anyone who has Emmylou Harris do their backup vocals on their first solo album is pure Gold (uh, pun intended). He is so far ahead of his time. He writes from a steam of consciousness and doesn’t give s sh-t about what anyone else thinks. He’s arroagant and beautiful and mesmerizing.

Check out Heartbreaker. Or Jacksonville City Nights. Or Easy Tiger. Or 29. Or… gosh, it’s so hard to pick. Just check him out.

everything I do…I do it for you…
of course (and yes I caught it)

9. Both. The man stole everything he ever did or was, thinks he’s a god and yet he still wrote “The Times They Are a Changin’.” Both.

8. Don’t worry….none of us do either.

7. Please tell me you caught this.

6. Bette Midler. I know. But I can’t help it. Maroon 5. And that blessed Sara Bareilles. I try so hard not to like skinny girls who write pop music but I can’t help myself!

5. Cash. Sinatra had the mob but Cash had June.

4. Seriously? Like getting caught by the Ryan Adams thing wasn’t enough?

3. Paul….I mean George!! George!! Did I say Paul? Who said that? George. Definitely George.

2. “We’ve got Armadillos in our trousers. It’s really quite frightening.”

“How much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.”

“You don’t do heavy metal in Dubly.”

“We are Spinal Tap from the UK – you must be the USA!”

And of course: “These go to eleven.”

(And just for good measure: “Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it?”)

1. Please tell me it’s a capo.
