Rufus Wainwright - This One's For The Ladies (That Lunge!) From Unfollow The Rules, 2020.


The title of this album is perfect for my four-year old grandson who a few days ago during an interchange with his seven year old sister who was attempting to explain the numerous rules of baseball was overheard to respond by stating..."My rule #1 is NO RULES." He then proceeded to: (a) hit the ball, (b) run and grab it before any of the fielders; and (c) circle the bases while carrying the ball exclaiming as he crossed home plate, "that's how I hit a home run."

I am reminded of Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes fame, of course) throwing the ball up, swinging and missing in each of the first 3 panels; 4th one, he looks at us and exclaims "A no-hitter!  What a pitcher!"

Also - Trace Adkins (yeah, yeah, I know; there is, however, no "quality" rule), "Ladies Love Country Boys".

Peter (who believes you can most of the wisdom you need in life in comic strips - and not just The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, though they, of course, are foremost)

When our son was about five he played his first game of T-Ball.   In his first at bat, he hit a roller back to the pitcher and, instead of running to first base, he ran after the ball.   Later, he stole second base.  On the very next pitch he ran back and stole first base.

U2, "Where The Streets Have No End".

Peter (who firmly believes that, as hard as they tried, U2 did not manage to unseat Led Zep as The Most Overrated Band Of All Time - but took Most Pretentious from Sting without even trying)

I have no play, and I think its U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name

Other than that completely agree on all counts!

Stanley Clarke - The Streets of Philadelphia (from I Wanna Play For You, 1979) & Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia (from the movie soundtrack , Philadelphia 1993)

Two entirely different tunes with essentially the same title. Stanley's is not IMHO even close to his best work but an interesting backstory.

You are, of course, correct.  Sometimes my fingers are no more cooperative on a keyboard than they are on a fretboard........

Quite possibly Elton John's worst work ever, "Philadelphia Freedom".

Agree with the Cowboy about Zep.  At least they had the good sense to use an Alembic bass.

Post Civil War Spiritual, recorded by Odetta, Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, and regularly sang at my Jewish Socialist Summer Camp in the 60's: Oh Freedom!
