Agreed. She's done some great stuff, but this ain't it.

Does anyone else hear the guitar from REM's "Welcome to the Occupation" in this? Is it just me?

Someone tell me that this is not the song this artist should be judged by. Come on... Sounds like an early eighties poop song with a bit of Quarterflash and Smithereens riff rip-off thrown in for ill measure.

"Ruby In Paradise" is one of my favorites from Victor Nunez. I don't think he has directed anything better since - but "Ulyees Gold" was ok.

Just the fact that Sam is on these airwaves says something positive about this station.

I remember that flick. I liked it a lot, too - & still remember it well after 10 years or so (much more so than most of the rest of what I saw during that time). Ashley Judd was amazing in it - haven't seen anything from her subsequently that has the same spark to it. They used this song in the opening credits, which grabbed me immediately - since the album was a big fave of mine but I'd never heard it on the radio or anywhere else.

I like most of the other Phillips tracks you play. I don't care for this one too much however.
