>>And he used to have a consulting business in Indonesia...<< This one goes out to fellow S.I'er, Stitch, who has a consulting business in Indonesia. OK, you guys have been entertaining and educating me for some time (although I only scored 38% on the British Invasion test). I decided to come out of the shadows. The line above is from a very funny tune which almost sounds so unlike the other jazz tunes by this artist that I checked to make sure someone had not mislabeled it. One reviewer describes the artist as: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There's a type of artist in popular music whose work is more often praised than played, who inspires other musicians and earns a "cult" following, but is known to the general public chiefly through covers performed by more 'commercial' artists. ____________, though in nearly three decades of recording he's given us some of the world's most preternaturally beautiful melodies as well as some of its most intriguing noise, is such an artist. He's been covered by Johnny Cash and the Ramones, Bette Midler and the Violent Femmes. He's a favorite among the "underground" cognoscenti. Yet his only forays into the Top 40 have been at others' hands: The Eagles' cover of "Ol' 55," Springsteen's bowdlerized version of "Jersey Girl," and Rod Stewart's "Downtown Train." <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Reference links below to lyrics and reviewer quoted above reveal this title & artist's name for those needing instant gratification. Otherwise don't look. ; ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I just discovered his music thanks to the digital music the establishment is trying to kill, but that's another story. officialtomwaits.com epicom.com Remember that word, bowdlerized. It will be in my next challenge. I had to look it up... from Merriam-Webster: 1 : to expurgate (as a book) by omitting or modifying parts considered vulgar 2 : to modify by abridging, simplifying, or distorting in style or content? bowdlerization \ noun? bowdlerizer noun My bolding for next time.
