Ruby Tuesday

Oh, okay, why not:


Since I am planning to include a Stones song this Thursday as part of my Valentines Day Extra Special Musical Extravaganza Blowout (and I leave it to you to ponder about WHICH ONE in feverish anticipation...) I thought that maybe this would be too much Stones in one week - but, believe me, I'm ashamed that I even entertained such a silly thought for one fraction of a second.

These guys must be taking their cues from American telecoms. At least there was a judge willing to say no - presumably they don't have a Congress chomping at the bit to give them retroactive permission to ignore the judge's ruling.

Crooks & Liars featured J. J. Cale last night and correctly noted that he is better known as a guy who writes songs that other people make hits with. I would just like to point out that I featured a song of his, that actually WAS a hit of his own, but which version by Cissy Houston I happen to prefer.
