Did you know that this classy babe is 56 years old today?

Heart eyes indeed!

It''s over, I know it, but I can't let go

Well, it's over. I know it. But I can't let go.

Feel like I've been shot; didn't fall down.

I've gotta a big chain around my neck.

Buddy and Julie Miller, and Shawn Colvin, have been/are part of the "Christian" rock scene. I don't know how much this comes out at their shows, but you're sure to hear a few Jesus songs.

Too bad; that would have been a good show.  I saw John Prine a few times back in my Chicago daze.  He and the late Steve Goodman were Chicago-area guys.

I have a number of friends who love Shawn, but I've never been all that big on her. Love Emmy Lou, and have seen her a couple times in Chicago, but have never seen Patty Griffin. Want to do that.

i like it (the new cd.) but she's a bit too happy no? 

yolatengo was eh ~ the sound was terrible.  like really really bad.  vocals were horrendous.  it was too bad, b/c I dont really know them and I think I'd've really liked them.  plus, i brought my friend's 14 year old daughter and she was turned off to them b/c the sound was so bad.  which sux, 'cause it'd been neat for her to have really gotten to experience them.

and happy new year to you and yours two

i'd love to see that if shawn colvin wasn't on the ticket. cant stomach her. and i've just got to see patty someday. buddy miller isnt bad! and i'm half in love with emmylou. really.
right now, i'm a bit obessed with ray lamontagne these days. go figure. this follows a weird period of obsession with winehouse and the black keys (ok, the black keys thing isn't so weird, and isn't so over yet, either. LOL)
