Are You Lonesome Tonight? - Sam Kinison

You may have heard of Sam Kinison, the legendary stand-up comic and Pentecostal Minister.

But few have heard Sam Kinison, the consummate baritone torch singer who gave Elvis a run for his money?

I discovered this rare copy of Sam's first performance on Johnny Carson. It includes Johnny's full interview, along with relationship advice that would even make Dr. Ruth blush!

The 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame clip of Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood and Dhani Harrison performing the Beatles song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" during George Harrison's induction ceremony.

Prince, off to the side during the verses, casually walks to center stage as the bridge approaches and proceeds to pour forth a guitar solo so achingly beautiful that it's become canon.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps was written by George Harrison, the Beatle's lead guitarist.

The song serves as a comment on the disharmony within the Beatles following their return from studying Transcendental Meditation in India in early 1968.

This lack of camaraderie was reflected in the band's initial apathy towards the composition. Harrison countered by inviting his friend Eric Clapton to overdub a lead guitar part.

I agree with those that preferred the CeeLo Green's (Gnarls Barkley) original version - it has a really unique, infectious "funky rap" presentation that is hard to beat. But the music also has a bit of a mechanical, quantized rhythm that bothered me.

Here's where it gets weird... There are no musicians credited with this cut because it was sequenced from the Spaghetti Western "Django" track "Last Men Standing:"

"Crazy" - Ted's "Covers" Series

NO AGENDA THEME SONG?
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
