After reading this excellent post on Prince songs over at Xo's Middle Eight, I though I would give my Jill Jones album a spin. (I know, you don't give albums a "spin" when they are file based. I wasn't going to write it, but what can we say now instead of that?)
After reading this excellent post on Prince songs over at Xo's Middle Eight, I though I would give my Jill Jones album a click. (is that better?)
The song "All Day, All Night" came on. Soooo obvious that Prince wrote it. Then I found myself singing to this lyric in the middle of the song:
Oh, is this your mouth?
Am I swirling in some wet tornado?
Oh, U make me wanna shout
When I'm in your arms, I feel like Play-Doh
Oh Prince... yes, you written some so many good songs, but some of your lyrics have been pretty wacked. "Wet tornado"? Ugh, the image of Prince's oversized tounge fills my mind, I can't even Febreez the image away. MAJOR UGH. And rhyming that with "Play-Doh"? I mean, that's just Silly Putty.
Awww, gotta love Jill. Sometimes I wonder if I can become the friend of faded stars? Like, I would have a dinner party with, say, Jill Jones, Martha Davis (The Motels), Helen Terry, and maybe someone like Nick Heyward. Let's throw in Christopher Cross for shits'n'giggles!

I do love Jill! A friend of mine represents her. He got me a signed picture from her. She didn't have her Jill Jones album on CD, so I sent over a copy.
and... you CAN become friends of faded stars. I've found so many emails on the internet of my cut-out favorites (usually the best kind of artists) and have been pleasantly surprised how open they are to meeting fans and corresponding with them.
Invite me to that dinner party, but I would have to tell Martha to get a new hairstyle (did you see her on "hit me baby one more time"?) I do love her.
