And then there's Steve Earle's "Goodbye".

More Richard Thompson: "Waltzing's for Dreamers", "How Will I Ever Be Simple Again", "Beat the Retreat", "End of the Rainbow", "Al Bowlly's in Heaven", "A Heart Needs a Home"--the titles alone will make you slit your wrists.

I do't think it gets much sadder than Richard and Linda Thompson's "Withered and Died".

Yes. 56 on the dial, I think. My avatar is actually the cover of an album they put out.

Julian, "Defecting Grey" wasn't on S.F. Sorrow. It was a single that came out in late 1967.

Darius, that second part is actually an instrumental version of the song "D.C.B.A.-25". It was a hidden track at the end of the 2003 remaster of Surrealistic Pillow.

Jeremy, you are correct. But mentioning the wrong album was really the smaller of the two lies I inserted into this post. The other was the Mark Twain reference. As far as I know, he never wrote any songs either under his own name or his pen name. And Darius, thanks for providing some "confirmation". I guess we did it too well!

Hey Darius, Lauper didn't write "True Colors". It was written by Billy Steinber and Tom Kelly.

Matt, ever since I started buying albums (and for me it started with cassettes), I always knew that I wanted more music than I had, so I was never satisfied with my collection. But I agree with everything else you wrote. I certainly capital-L-loved a much higher percentage of my music collection back in the day. But that's youth, isn't it?

Re: Mononymic Artists: Donovan

Dang, we missed a great transition song with Donovan's "Goo Goo Barabajagal (Love Is Hot)".

My sources are "Fleetwood Mac: The Complete Recording Sessions, 1967-1997" by Peter Lewry and "Peter Green: Founder of Fleetwood Mac" by Martin Celmins. It's also mentioned at http://www.fleetwoodmac.net....

Negatu, thanks for thinking it might have been me, but it was David Snusgrop who posted it a few months ago. But given her story, I think we can give Anne a pass on this one.

That would be Lita Ford.

Thanks, Geoviki! I don't have a photo website per se. I used to post photos on my website (http://cherk.com), but about two years ago I switched to just posting them on Facebook.

Thank you! I'm very happy that this week at SMM I get to combine three of my favorite things--music, birds, and photography.

Re: Tobacco: A Small Cigar

FiL — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:00:28 -0000

Just to clarify, "A Small Cigar" was recorded in 1975, during the sessions for the Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll album, which came out in 1976. It didn't appear on the original album, but it was one of the bonus tracks added to the 2002 remastered version (which did indeed come out nine years after Nightcap).

Nice, fresh take on it, Boyhowdy. Thanks for posting.
