This is sort of a part 2 to my brief post from yesterday.
Listen to The Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23 first:
Then go back up top for the original Shuggie Otis version.

and as an added bonus, a scene from "Jackie Brown":

Summers waning, enjoy what's left. It's a beautiful blue sky Saturday around here. I, for one, am headed to a big body of water

It will be if I ever get out of the house! Soon I hope, Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!
Thanks to everyone who's been putting out good vibes for my father.
Saturdays operation wasn't exactly a success, the doctor had to go back in on Monday and even then he's been experiencing some complications, I'll probably be taking him back to the emergency room tomorrow. He's not in any pain, so that's good, but something says we may have to look into a medical malpractice case because this makes four operations in five months and the Doc still hasn't gotten it right.
Alright, enough of the tiny violins.
This tune is something both my dad and I have always liked, except he swears its a Paul Simon song. What are you going to do? He also doesn't believe Freddie Mercury was gay.
Thanks again everyone.

Four operations; yeesh! That's dreadful. Not much I can do here but wish the best for your dad. :(

Again , this is a tune the attraction of which escapes me completely. I have tried manfully for many years to understand its attraction, but neither the original nor the huge hit cover appeals in the slightest. I suspect that I like my singers to be a trifle more passionate
Well... ...I guess you and I can no longer be friends!
Joking. :)
The term "To each their own." seems to fit nicely.
We all have these complete escapes that confound us and in turn confound others. I can't stand the Beach Boys and see no deserved talent there, I also don't understand the Greatful Dead and frankly, I'm a little embarrassed that they exist. But that's just me and I understand that it must be just me because both of these bands have tens of millions of fans. I can deal with that.
I like the Brother's Johnson version better. Maybe because that was the version I grew up listing to.
I too don't get The Greatful Dead and only own Pet Sounds to see how it compares to Sgt. Pepper. No comparison, The Beatles BLOW them away.
