He was talking about Bob Dylan.

As a sidenote, I like Randy Newman. I've got at least four of his albums on vinyl.... I think everybody should listen to the whole of Little Criminals once over.

He was talking about The Prophet Tom Petty.

As for Randy Newman, I Love LA is one of my favorite songs EVER. But the only album of his I've ever owned is Land of Dreams, on cassette. It took me several listens to "get it" but it's some pretty good stuff. I assume you have that one? If so, Double Bonus Points question for you: What other, much older song did he base "Follow the Flag" on?

I don't think this one has been posted yet:

Got a surprise from my honey

Got a message from my girl

When she picked up a pen from beside her bed

And wrote me a scribbled note

Said, she'd be coming back to see me

That she would be visiting real soon

Gonna get up from her long white bed

And leave this cold white room

have no idea, but the only type of music that used the word "honey" is country, so that leaves me out. then again, it's just a guess.

here is a little taste of what's to come tomorrow.

He ate the raw meat right from my hand

Drank the hot grease from the frying pan

And said to me "You better run

And don't be here when the morning comes"

Back to Tom Petty...

Yes, technically he has a lousy singing voice. It's nasal and whiny and sort of annoying (which is odd, because his speaking voice is very different). If you can't get past the voice, then I can see how you will never like any of his music. But if you can get past his voice, and are able to enjoy the songs, then you're in for a treat because he has written a ton of great songs. And the Heartbreakers are a great band that can really play. B)

agreed, and there are a lot of bands/groups that land in this category. and yes, I hit him pretty hard, just to get some conversation going. I think he still suck, and really an not a fan of his music. if you really think about it, what rock and rollers have better than average singing voices?

here are some right off the top of my head.

Freddie Mercury - in a league all by himself!!

Ian Anderson - Jethro Tull

Glenn Shorrock - little river band

Paul Carrack - squeeze

Alex Harvey - joking (how many said "what the..." on that one.

Bruce Dickenson - Iron Maiden

to me, these are guys who can sing, it's not just a style.

Some bands and singers are really are product of certain period of time. Look at George Michael great voice and singer but after faith nothing. Madonna a product of the 80's. Loverboy and Little River Band are playing in small casinos like Tunica, Ms . Some bands like Kiss and Tom Petty are still going on. Def Leppard and Styx still going strong and touring.

Yep. Have Land of Dreams, Little Criminals, Born Again, and something else.

CORRECT - my favorite Halloween song.

When I look out my window

Many sights to see

And when I look in my window

So many different people to be

That it's strange

So strange.........

Like the smoke that rises from a flame

I hear that homesick ????? call my name

Telling foreign tales that are not new

Listening for the lies when nothing's true

And he's waiting for me to perform...

(Never could decipher that word in the second line - sounds like "hobo" or "Volvo". Hint: Not the Doors but sounds a lot like them.)

Do you still remember

The December's foggy freeze --

when the ice that

clings on to your beard was

screaming agony.

Ode to Billy Joe, or something like that. Bobby Gentry. '66 or '67, somewhere in there.

They wrote a novel and made a movie in 76 from this song. James Best Roscoe was one of the actors. I never liked the song myself..

Rage in the cage

And piss upon the stage

There's only one sure way

To bring the giant down

Defunct the strings

Of cemetery things

With one flat foot

On the devil's wing
