Was perusing old Populars and found my way to an all-time classic thread from 2005 in regard to Roger Miller's "King Of The Road." Tremendous commentary on all sides of the question (and stunningly, "King Of The Road" revealed big questions), Marcello being hilariously witty in dissent, and as for my own contributions, I must say that if you'd been following my work before then I probably come across as someone who continually rerecords and rereleases the same song in the hope that this time it will finally be a hit. But I do like my retort to a generally very smart post by "Matt" (think this is Cibula rather than Matt DC, who also posts on the thread) wherein he inexplicably says that "King Of The Road" is about many things but the Rolling Stones is not one of them. And I say:

"Just what do you think the phrase 'A rolling stone gathers no moss' means?"

OK, I know way less about Rickie Lee Jones than about most any other of the influential singer-songwriters, but lonepilgrim embedded this live track and, as the YouTube guy says, "This shit rocks!"

Rickie Lee Jones and a bunch of half-naked guys:


So, tell me more. What do you know about Rickie Lee Jones, what do you like, what do you dislike? In my comment I told Peter "I'd only heard a smattering of Rickie Lee Jones over the years, have no idea of the arc of her career, but this track actually fits right into my expectations, sort of a cross between Patti and Joni..." And then I went into my usual shtick about Joni et al. leading to Stevie and Sheryl and Alanis which in turn leads into the '00s teen-confessional.
