Uh, there's also that one about Stevie Nicks, but in the interest of good taste and a PG rating I don't think we should go there... I actually heard this on nick's birthday last year as i was driving to new jersey, on that public radio station from scranton wilkes barre. Ah, and they say adventurous radio is dead! and how about William faulkner in hollywood or The eyes of Roberto Duran by tom russell; Dillinger by david olney; lessee, he also does ones about TE lawrence and hemingway, I believe... I've heard Dave Van Ronk do "John Hurt," uh, 5 chinese brothers do Cezanne... hey, come to think of it olney also did vincent's blues (love that line about how did vincent get that blue/he stole it from the sky) jpc in sc pa ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 12:50:02 EDT From: SMOKEY596@aol.com Subject: Re: [RS] tunes that name... I think Ellis Paul's "Martyr's Lounge" has the most in it....Marilyn Monroe, Jacques Cousteau, JFK, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Ghandi, Jesus, Hendrix, Joan of Arc....he also does "Who Killed John Lennon?" and "River" (River Phoenix).
