At the risk of going further into the weed. I learned there is a”Wuthering Heights Day,” where people gather in groups to recreate the video. Apparently, my wife went to one a few years ago and said it was a lot of fun.
And now it is I who must thank the internet because I had never seen the video before this morning. All I can say is--magical. And the fact that people get together to recreate it each year gives me hope for humanity. Because if we can agree as a group to be both intentionally and unintentionally funny at the same time, we can do anything
Afternoon boys. Well, you induced me to listen to another album I had long forgotten about. Probably not saying much as I don't remember what I had for dinner last night either.
Ken, with the exception of the first line of your commentary, you took the words right out of my mouth, perhaps verbatim. (What the hell do you mean you would pass up a drink with Clapton? I'd give my right testicle for an opportunity to have a conversation with him!) But, back to PB, I'm not sure she belongs on Newberry either and couldn't have written my reasons any better than Ken. Mitch, your assessment wasn't bad either.
Call me a male chauvinist pig, but somehow I never got much into female rockers. Their voices, in my mind, seem better suited for blues, pop, Christian, or country. Yet somehow, I feel bad for nixing PB, as other than Beth Hart or Janis, PB might be the best female rocker out there. Seems to be no limit to her passion, sort of like that girlfriend you left behind because you just couldn't get that "in to her." (Please don't write me back about the Wilson sisters either - not a fan, except for guitarist Roger Fisher.) I did not know Pat was classically trained either, so that was interesting, and says much about her voice.
Given some of the other "albums" you guys let in to Newberry, I might have put PB in an alley just off of NS.
Alan, you should go to google and use the keywords “Eric Clapton racist” and see what comes up. I used to LOVE EC, but as far as I’m concerned, he’s cancelled in my house.
Once in awhile, the internet offers up a revelation. Today was the fact that Pat Benatar covered "Wuthering Heights." That is one helluva a crossover.
And yet, it's on nobody's list of best Kate Bush covers. Which is a crime (of passion).
Ha! Nicely done.
