Since your comment was in May, the playlist has changed. As of today, it was:

Elephant Revival - "Cosmic Pulse"
Pearl Jam - "Yellow Ledbetter"
Rickie Lee Jones - "Up From the Skies"
Jimi Hendrix - Belly Button Window"

So what if RP was taken over by female balladeers?  Today's playlist proves that it's not an ongoing concern (and I bet that Eddie Vedder would resent being referred to as a "Female Balladeer.") {#Roflol} Please feel free to take up knitting or basket-weaving (oh, wait - that's "feeeeemale stuff") whenever RP gets "taken over by female balladeers." Geez - sometimes I'm ashamed that humans are still allowed to breed.

Okay, I had a bad day today, and I hurt in places I didn't know I had (make of that what you will.)  I'm sure the music here will calm me down, but in the meantime, I'm a bitch on wheels with two glasses of Chardonnay in her. Not exactly the same as a gun, but who knows what I'll do with my empty glass?

 
Go with it.....no point in trying to suppress. .. just go with it. I'll duck and weave...don't worry...we're all in this together.

So much potential - started out with a great album and then went way down.  She's embarrassing herself trying to become a political activist.

I prefer the original, although it's only a so-so Hendrix song (he recorded a fair amount of throwaway stuff along with the diamonds). 

Rickie's song needs some old bluesman like John Lee Hooker rasping away in the background as the leering hep cat chorus...

Peg Leg Jones, who once had Milton Berle as a supporting act :-)

In 79 I had the biggest crush on this woman, and I'm sure I've never really gotten over it.
