I for one, think that's pretty cool, and I'm really irked that SOME of us are
getting snooty about knowing more arcana about some genre than some folks who
just liked something good when they heard it, and liked it well enough to
record it themselves. >>
but linda, "wild and blue" was a HUGE hit for john anderson, and saying so
ain't snooty. and as much as i love the meke's version, it's not irk-worthy,
either. rather, it's analagous to pointing out that nirvana, not tori amos,
first gave us "smells like teen spirit." bill f-w
