All that soul…all that raw emotion…he reminds me a little of Danny Zuko.
Baiting the host is frowned on.
ah…okay…i understand.
let me retract that first statement and refocus.
he reminds me a little of Frenchy.
Now that makes more sense
You guys are cracking me up — and the music????? — Well, it simply made my day if not my week.
I’m still amazed by this performance and this Bob Dylan cover by Stevielicious……and finally, this Stevie cover, as well.
Soul & Raw Emotion = Rizzo….definitely.
ok, ok, i get it, youtube as narrative. stevie referencing scrubs from the other post referencing clay doing stevie. except for this problem, clay sucks. i hate it, simply hate it. now i’ll do it in my best elaine benis voice “fake fake fake fake”.
Stepping aside the tete-a-tetting, a favorite Stevie memory from my teen years.
Picture it. New Years Eve in the mid to late 1970’s. Sitting in the den with my best friend watching Dick Clark do his thing. Stevie was supposed to do a remote broadcast and the sound went out. Stevie didn’t know it. Dick did. (This was back in the days when “Live TV” meant LIVE.) Stevie was talking but no sound was coming out. Dick started yelling “Stevie!! Can you hear me? Stevie!! Can you hear me?” Obviously Stevie couldn’t hear Dick. So Dick, ever the diplomat, said “Stevie! If you can’t hear me, can you see me? Stevie can you see me?” He kept repeating that until they cut to commercial.
When they came back from commercial, everything was fixed and Dick apologized profusely. My friend and I laughed so hard we cried.
And that’s where The Who got the idea for this.
Or maybe it was this.
What a lucky bastard Stevie is to be so powerfully centered.
I think his blissful and knowing smile emminated from the core of his heart, dissarming everyone. Or maybe it was the striking speed at which he could switch from “You Met Your Match” to soprano harp on Alfie? He steals your breath. He was a Teflon performer singing suggestive and thought provoking lyrics that always seems to strike the right chord.
Children are never wrong about such things, just look. “Music Of My Mind” and “Songs In The Key Of Life” are some of the best titles ever.
I don’t like Clay either but needed the Scrubs reference.
However, I must say that that Blowin’ in the Wind cover is superb. THAT, shall live again elsewhere.
bedpost — agree on the titles…Stevie is a supreme lyricist (coming from an affirmed Lyrics Lover).
