"Yer Blues" - The Dirty Mac
Definite Corvus bait here -- John Lennon on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Keith Richards on bass. Great version of the song -- much more propulsive than the White Album version, which is kind of a blues-dirge -- I think in large part because of the way Richards lays down the bass line. (Is it me, or is Eric Clapton almost featureless? A guy who looks like he does strictly on the basis of his hair cut, or facial hair, or glasses, but with no actual recognizable face?) Richards, by the way, used to make fun of Lennon for wearing his guitar up too high -- he's right, innit he?
Deep thought for the evening -- the New York Times is the most prestigious newspaper in America and yet it appears that one can get a spot on its op-ed page by being either stupid or childishly stupid. Discuss.
