It’s a response to your last sentence. It came across to me as if you were boasting about your own “non-assholy” situation as if you were saying: “I’m alright, Jack”. I’m fortunate to be in a “non-assholy” situation too, at a time when everything around me (in the larger world) is falling apart. It’s people like us that have a responsibility to care about and work towards achieving a “non-assholy” situation for others. That’s why I don’t boast.
But, I could be wrong about your intentions, of course … I’ve been wrong many times before.
behind this selection…, didnāt you? When Julie and I saw Tom Russell at the Treehouse Cafe…, we picked up Gretchen Petersā āOne to the Heart…, One to the Headā CD because there were several duets with Tom on it. Not on the title track…, and I couldnāt find a video of Gretchen doing it. Maybe the gal performing the song here, is the one who wrote it.
I am glad Gretchen didnāt write it…, and I canāt leave you with that picture of her…, too much of a show stopper. This one is off the CD too. One of my favorite cuts…., and a nice little slide show to go along with it.
that “Coast of Texas” has only 11 Thumbs Up on U-Tube. The World may as well all come tumbling down…, if we don’t have better music appreciation than that š
but there is one sub-speciality that Tom Waits has written a number
of songs about- the sensitive a-hole, who keeps you second-guessing yourself (“if only I”) for their having left you:-)
This very short, delicate, beautiful song, for example:
That’s a great song by Martha Wainwright. She will, no doubt, never be mainstream. Female singers are tightly packaged by our culture. Great singers such as Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette, Anouk and many others have been subjected to record company bullying over creative differences. For that reason, Dutch artist Anouk, never made it in the US. She told the American music industry bros, who demanded she “tone it down” a bit, to fuck off and went home. She is loved in Europe.

Half Way Home – Come On Come On
Sorry for the non-video video, but these folks really are obscure!
Now I’m off to escape the a**holes and go for a hike in the mountains with my lovely anti-a**hole wife. Cheers, all!!!
It’s the silence of those not affected by violence that creates more violence.

Uh…yeah. I have no illusions about my own f#(<ed-up-edness. My wife, however, lives on a pedestal from my point of view!

You can do a deadly description of the conceited sot, who doesn’t know enough limits not to play with fire.
Or you can take the high road, and not waste your beautiful mind pissing on a skunk.
“Pissin on a skunk” hahaha. What a voice. Luv them blues.

Haven’t seen anyone claim it’s undeserved, have we?
Maybe I should see what’s available from the other side of the aisle… š
we can count on that from our loyal commenters- plus of course there are plenty of bosses, politicians, and other connections that deserve the label….

I know this one has been played here before, but this version almost drips venom:
We Can’t Make It Here
One more by Alanis Morissette. One of her earliest songs that pissed off a lot of men.
You Oughta Know
Honesty doesn’t piss me off. The lack of it, however does. Good for her.
You’re special, Don š

According to Martha, that was about her father.
Yeh, remember her mother Kate McGarrigle’s “Go Leave” ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul0SCpzFUXI
There’s a great little doc re: the McGarrigle sisters at the NFB web site, as well as this little ditty also sung by the two.
Thanks! I’ve never seen either of the pieces before…

Yes. He left his family when the children were still young and then married two more times
New to me. Excellent.
