Monday Morning Rock (Three straight weeks!)

We're starting our fifth straight week of working from the home office at TWDQ HQ with the Thin Blue Nano connected up to the big stereo system, so let's see what it's offering for takeout service today.

Let's...hit...shuffle!

Spinners - I'll Be Around
The Frames - People Get Ready
The Beatles - For You Blue (from Anthology 3)
Van Morrison - Come Running
Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Rock Me
Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine
Billy Bragg & Wilco - All You Fascists
Little Richard - Keep A-Knockin'
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
Sam Cooke - Chain Gang (Live at the Harlem Square Club)

Bonus 11
Poco - Keep On Tryin'

Nice mix there. Just finished reading that Sunday was Amy Ray's birthday, so the Indigo Girls is very appropriate. The Frames tune is an original, not the Curtis Mayfield classic. Bragg & Wilco remind us that Woody Guthrie was warning us about fascists decades ago. The Sam Cooke live album is from a tough, gritty small club performance that is light years away from the slickly-produced singles or Sam's set at the Copa. Sam could bring it.

We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("What the...it's snowing AGAIN?!?), already in progress.
