When does a blog become defunct?

It’s been so long and I seem to have so little energy for it….

But still youtube remains loaded with gems like this

exception that proves the rule

An English sixties band doing a cover of an American song that isn’t pointless compared to the original, by gum.  Here’s the Hollies’ exciting and dynamic cover of ‘I Can’t Let Go.’  Listen to the three point harmony on the word ‘Goodbye. No wonder David Crosby stole Graham Nash away – the boy can harmonize!  

There’s a nice clip of Evie Sands singing the original that my regular readers will both have seen a couple of months ago when I posted “the curse of Evie Sands.”  (Yeah, that’s right, I’m not ashamed to put up links to my own blog – I need the hits dammit!)

So, I Can’t Let Go by The Hollies - the exception that proves the rule – but listen to ‘Stay’ by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs, or better still Doris Troy’s version of ‘Just One Look’ and tell me I’m not right about the Beat Boom being rubbish.

isn’t ebay marvellous?
