Nothing sadder than aging mullet-heads trying to revive protest folk music.

I used to love Rickie Lee Jones. She is a true artist and a tremendous vocal talent. Few, if any, other vocalists have profoundly moved me like her.

She has that Sinatra-like quality that makes every song she sings hers and hers alone, whether or not she wrote it or it is an old standard.

She has a gift and is a rare talent. But, politically, she is a blithering imbecile. Too bad.

The 60's and early 70's are the hardest to remember.

She had a creative quality back in the day. Haven't heard much from her since then.

Gee, I wonder what Zager and Evans or Barry McGuire think of our president?

I'd tell you, but I'm too busy interviewing the members of Kajagoogoo and Haircut 100.

"She has a gift and is a rare talent."

She had the same talents as Linda Lovelace. Didn't Walter Becker/Donald Fagan write a popular song extolling her talents?
