"Ball & Chain" by They Might Be Giants?
Social Distortion.
(See topic subhead.)
-
I was at my local Whole Foods and, much to my surprise, "Ball and Chain" came across the Muzak channel, loud and clear. Well, not too loud, of course, because that would bother the customers.
It was simultaneously wonderful and awful. But the best part of it was watching this 50-something Hinsdale woman (Hinsdale is a very wealthy, WASP-y community in the West Suburbs of Chicago) doing an absentminded little shuffle in front of the organic granola, and twirling her $300 sunglasses.
And this is after hearing "Blitzkreig Bop" over the Walgreens Muzak system a year or so ago.
Punk is the new Barry Manilow.

People really eat charred baby octopus? Goddamn.
Charred baby octopus is delicious.
Although this wasn't the best I've had of that dish. That honor would belong to Boca De Le Verite in Lincoln Square here in Chicago.

Ah good.....reselling classic 60s LPs again and again....

Yeah.
I just bought the '05 or whatever re-release.
Jeez.

not very vegetarian friendly.
These are all restauranteurs and foodies who are focused on ingredients, technique, and flavor combinations, not veg-friendly lifestyles. But yeah, you are right. It would be nice if they had an award specifically for vegetarian chefs. Althought I don't know if there are enough of them out there (particularly in fine dining, where this is focused) to merit such distinction.
Looks like you'd just have to keep slugging back the wine, champagne, and cocktails.
poptodd lives a charmed life.And yeah, between this, the concert tickets, my MS, and the brain surgery...

My friend Josh was honored as the "Rising Star" sommelier and invited me to be there, as his guest. Very posh and a lot of fun! T'was a cocktail party-like reception, with each of the honoured chefs set up at a different station, offering 2 small plates each. Here are those offerings:

Dave Daviesplease, do NOT ask me to add Dave Davies to the poll.
-
I'm just thinking that Davies is (of course, since I started this thing), pound-for-pound, the best pure songwriter of the bunch.
•Waterloo Sunset
•Two Sisters
•Sunny Afternoon
•Oklahoma, USA
•Picture Book
and, yes
•Lola
and
•You Really Got Me
And dozens more are so freaking amazing that they bring me to tears, as much for the quality of the craft as for the emotional content of the song.
-
George Harrison.
I'll add a choice for you, as long as it's still Beatles/Kinks.
But please, do NOT ask me to add Dave Davies to the poll.
-
Now, please keep in mind that this poll is asking about PURE SONGWRITING.
Not innovative production methods.
Not influence on popular culture.
PURE SONGWRITING.
JUST THE SONG, ALONE, BY ITSELF
(I think that this is a more interesting choice and one that is a bit more fair to all parties involved.)

Seriously.
I saw him on that tour, in Chicago, and some folks walked the pig around the stadium, and then outside the pavilion. And I saw it fly away. I thought that was planned. Was that NOT planned? Did I witness The Pig Flying the Coop?
Cool.
