Cover of the Day:



"You Want It Darker", the title track from the last album released in Leonard Cohen's lifetime, covered by another artist who will simply keep going until he drops, good ol' Iggy Pop, from a 2022 various-artist compilation simply titled "Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen".

Iggy does Leonard. Couldn't have been a better song choice.

Cover Of The Day:

"Baba O'Riley", Pete Townshend's paean to both his guru, Meher Baba, and minimalist music composer Terry O'Riley, released as a single, 10/23/1971.
While the song is an instantly-recognized classic of 70's rock, as a single, it only makes it to no. 55....in 2012. In the UK.  No US chart action at all. Oh, well.

The Picketts, Seattle's only "garange" band, composed mostly of Christy McWilson and her hubby, alt-rock stalwart Scott McCaughey, made a brief career out of cosmic country-fried cover versions and smart, underground pop songs, put this one on their third (and final) album, 1996's "Euphonium".

Today, in Musical History, October 25th:

1960: 18-year-old Mick Jagger bumps into 17-year-old Keith Richards at a train station in Kent, and they remember that they knew each other in childhood. Keef notices that Jagger is carrying Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, and Jagger notices that Keef is carrying a guitar, so they decide to hang out.

Four years later, the Rolling Stones make their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, playing Irma Thomas'  "Time Is On My Side" and Chuck's "Around And Around", and a riot breaks out, and Ed proclaims "I promise you, they'll never be back on this show again.", which was true - They didn't return on THAT particular episode. They did come back five other times, though, between 1965 and 1969.
