  1. Last night I had dinner at a local French restaurant with Al's Niece Dorothy, Al's Sister Corrine and our friend Blake. Then Fairfax scoop. Then back to Dorothy's to play two games of Pegs and Jokers. Blake, who had never played before, brutally took us down swiftly both games.

    Even losing at Pegs and Jokers is still a great night IMO. 

    And my discovery that said French restaurant has on it's menu possibly the best burger I've had anywhere since leaving Alaska.

    I'd be reluctant to drink an amber liquid with a label that says Golden Goat. Maybe that's just me?

  3. I got into Chris Isaak early. His first video was in '85, and I bought the album immediately. Bought all other albums as they came out.

    I have probably mentioned that I ran into him in '93 at a little cafe near the Great Hwy. And saw him in concert in Portland around '91.

    Dude was sexy as fuck! And I'm not usually attracted to masculine, straight guys.

     

    Two of the best pickers ever!

  4. I like the original, but this version eclipses it IMO. The video brings even more emotion to the song. Even Trent said that the song was no longer his song, after seeing this video.

    Oddly enough when Rick Rubin, along with other songs, first sent it to Johnny he got no response. So, he sent another tape of songs, with Hurt as the first song on the tape. Still no response. Finally he just outright told Johnny that he thought it would be a great song for him to record. By this time he trusted Rick, so he agreed to record it. 

    I think it's one of his best works.
