Oh hell no. I'm still trying to exterpate that Boy George earworm you gave me last week.

Tomas Dolby:

I’d hired Dr. Magnus Pyke, a well- known TV personality and scientist, to play the part of the mad psychiatrist. We didn’t see eye to eye. Despite the fact that I’d sent him a copy of the story board, along with a check that wiped out a large chunk of our budget, Dr. Pyke was not comfortable with the idea of wearing a white lab coat on- screen, and he was refusing to come out of his trailer. An assistant director brought me the bad news, so I went to see him myself. “My public don’t regard me that way,” he complained, clearly on the verge of a tantrum.

I bumped into Dr. Pyke many years later, in Edinburgh at a conference. He’d just returned from a lecture tour of the USA. I asked him how it had gone. “Badly, Dolby,” he spat back. “Every time I walked down the sidewalk someone would sneak up behind me and yell ‘SCIENCE!’ at the top of their lungs! It seems that bloody MTV video of yours is more widely recognized than my body of scientific work.”

fame is fickle. as the old joke goes:

one day I was in the park and came across a man sitting on the bench and crying. I asked him what was wrong.
"I've built dozens of bridges, do people call me Ernie the Bridge Builder? I've done at least 50 famous statues in museums all over the world, do people call me Ernie the Sculptor? I've also written and performed 10 or 12 hit songs, do people call me Ernie the Singer? But you suck just one cock......"

When it comes to great blues songs, you can't leave this one out:

the actual demo starts at 3.30 ish , its a super crazy pedal which Id never need but always be in danger of buying - the squelchy "bernie worrel" bass and the organ sounds alone are enough to trigger irrationality.,

Jimmie Rodgers, known as the "father of country", and a big influence on the blues singers

from his wiki:

Rodgers' legacy and influence is not limited to country music. The 2009 book Meeting Jimmie Rodgers: How America's Original Roots Music Hero Changed the Pop Sounds of a Century tracks Rodgers influence through a broad range of musical genres, internationally. He was influential to Ozark poet Frank Stanford, who composed a series of "blue yodel" poems, and a number of later blues artists. Rodgers was one of the biggest stars of American music between 1927 and 1933, arguably doing more to popularize blues than any other performer of his time.[21] Rodgers influenced many later blues artists, among them Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy,[23] and Chester Arthur Burnett, better known as Howlin' Wolf. Jimmie Rodgers was Wolf's childhood idol. Wolf tried to emulate Rodgers's yodel, but found that his efforts sounded more like a growl or a howl. "I couldn't do no yodelin'," Barry Gifford quoted him as saying in Rolling Stone, "so I turned to howlin'. And it's done me just fine."

My wife and I watched a PBS summary of the Ken Burn's documentary on the history of country music. Then watched the first episode of the series. Very interesting. Everything Burn's does is top notch.

Take an everyday event and sing about it. Talent is optional, creativity is expected.

I always thought this sounded like a car commercial

In case you haven't heard of seasick steve.

More than meets the eye. First, notice the bass player. Then notice the instrument and the riff. Finally, notice the main lyrical expression and how it's modulated. Simple, and deep. One of the more powerful lyrics I ever remember hearing, mostly because it's a declaration, as opposed to the more obvious trash talking element. Not too bad of a trash talk but that sentence is almost the creation of a new genre.

Rare authenticity.
