I am trying to come up with a good nickname for you, something that captures your words width, depth and height. That connotes the speed in which you are able to put together a post in these here digital pages and have it all seem like something written and researched for weeks. Music history's whirling dervish if you will.

It seems, it doesn't matter the artist, you will find their tie to some power-pop icon. I had no idea Lindley played on a Marshall Crenshaw album. Not that it surprises me, considering Lindley was perhaps the ultimate collaborator. Like the quote I used in my piece -- "β€œI try to keep my ears open when I hear things, and everybody else in the band does the same thing.”

I didn't know "Some Hearts" (yet I do have that Marshall Crenshaw album -- when was the last time I played it? The year it came out maybe.). I'll take a listen to the various versions, even if I am allergic to Carrie Underwood's voice.
