I don't know, but Here's my personal favorite...

I could give you a hundred dozen reasons. But the best reason is to take a visit, get a room somewhere on the outskirts of town, and watch the mountains greet the morning the next day.

Also, somewhere, up in those hills, are three buried bottles of shine that my dad and granddad brewed some forty years ago. Shine so good that my granddad couldn't stop drinking once he had a taste, and had to be tied to his horse afterwards to get him home. Shine so good that a knife fight started over what was left of that bottle. Shine so good that the old man couldn't remember where he buried it for safe keeping the next day.

My dad told me about those bottles some fifteen years ago. They're the family myth, the legacy, the quest. Probably long gone, and probably nasty even if they aren't, part of me still wants to take a shovel and hike out looking. Part of me wants to build a still and recapture that forbidden taste.

I'm listening to a whole lotta Bo Diddley right now. Something appropriate about that.

I think once we get settled, we should have an Asheville Poets Lit together. Our first. There are enough poets within a reasonable radius of that location to make it there. And I'll open a shovel concession. :D

I like this idea, and I am pretty damned certain that I could get involved. I know a litster or two that is in that area as well, and may like to show. One in particular, while not a poet, would probably be a damned fine addition to the meet.

While we are on topic, this song (sans the portion on drug running post-Viet Nam) could damned near be my family song. Granddad made the shine, and my dad and uncle ran it in my dad's hot-to-death 56 Lincoln Premier (I would give a kidney, an eye-tooth, and a testicle for that car).

Dad was underage for most of it, as he started driving the shine at around 14 or so. When he hit 18, and decided that granddad wasn't allowed to take any more swings at him, dad joined the army. My uncle drove for my granddad after that, til he hit 18 and decided that the old man could drive his own. I think the old bastard got out of shine around then, as the revenue man was really bringing down more and badges, and had taken to blowing up stills with dynamite when he found them. With my uncle over 18, he didn't have anyone safe to run the shine, and he sure as hell wasn't going to do prison time for trafficking.

Still, when I hear this song, I think of that history. It's odd that as much as I still despise the old man, I love that song. There is something about that idea that fires my blood. Something about moonshine and running booze into dry counties that just gets me smiling.

I was born too late...

ETA: The intro segment is long, but I enjoyed it, and this version of the song is particularly good.

Great song! EE says the album it's on is "genius." :)

He's very into the poets' get-together, too. We'll keep y'all posted. I guess I better let tungtied know he's on the planning committee lol.

Steve Earle is genius, period. This song is one of many I sang to my youngest daughter on a nightly basis when she used to need to have me sing her to sleep. Me, specifically. I am still proud about that. Anyway, she loved this song, and still does, as does her momma. Actually, a lot of people that I've sung it for dig it.

Steve really out-did himself. Apparently, the story goes that he set out to create _the_ bluegrass song. I'd say he nailed it with this one.

this song is certified hawwwtness!. the best of both worlds for me......old meets new. it has an old school feel to it, but there's something contemporary about it.
(sums me up in a nutshell....i'm an old soul) i fell in love with it the first time i heard it.

Hey Sis,
I heard this on XM today, and it made me think of you. Had to put it somewhere (the song, that is).
 
I'm in the mood for a little Carly today. How 'bout you?

You’re So Vain

You Belong To Me

I like the musical arrangement on You Belong To Me even better than the Doobie Brothers version, but I like Michael McDonald's vocals better. I always thought it would be cool to have his vocals dubbed over her musical arrangement. Either way, I love both versions. They're gorgeous.

She's probably hearing the same song.

Ha, no, she's younger than I am by a bit, and likely hasn't heard this song. Aside from the age difference, we travel in different circles musically. Then again, I travel in different circles from pretty much everyone I know.

I do love this song though, and the chorus is so accurate for me.

I've some 8300 songs in my iTunes playlist, and still have 100+ CD's that haven't been ripped into iTunes, plus many hours worth of concerts and mix tapes and such that I don't want in my usual playlist.

I've had a few smiles today, but I am rather blue. I'm having another Joe Strummer day. It's not working though, so I need to get out the big guns, and play some roots ska and old reggae. Baba Brooks, the Skatalites, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, etc. Big guns.

ETA: To those paying attention, I had some 8500 songs. I went through and cleared out the doubles on comp albums and the like. I don't mind having an original and a different like track or two and a remix, but I dislike having the exact same mix more than once. Well, okay, a few songs I don't mind, simply because they're so damned good that I want more chances to hear them - this one, for example).
