The Blondie one is interesting. Either I didn't know they covered that, or maybe more likely, had long forgotten.

Marianne, with a great band, covering Lennon with justice:

Haunting; another killer band with the great Mac Rebbenack on keys, and brilliant trumpet going out the back. Watch it all:

With yet another bangin' band. This just jumps:

And that's the legendary (late) Lew Soloff, one of the founders of BS&T, on the epic tootin'.
Marianne always had strong accompaniment; highly respected, especially on the UK side of the pond.

Earl Scruggs & Joan Baez 1972 Imitates Bob Dylan - A Complete Unknown
User: BrewCrewOldSkool
Message:
Earl Scruggs and Joan Baez don't need to imitate Dylan, since they're more talented than he is (merely one man's opinion).
User: TNmountainman
Message:
Well, no, they don't "need" to - and she's just really doing it as a goof there for a bit. (I hope you watched the whole thing......but something tells me you didn't? 🤷 If you did, then I think that would have been clear.) Bob, Joan, and Earl (as well as many, many, others along in there) all respected each other immensely. But I suspect you knew that. 😊
That documentarian really recorded a bunch of amazing, historical stuff in his career.
BTW...........I have a friend who married into the Scruggs family. I think he married the daughter of one of the sons there in that video, as I recall. Took my copy of "Will the Circle......." and had Earl sign it for me. I'm not really into the autograph stuff, but we were just talking about his music, etc., and he suggested it. So I thought what the heck.....

that Joan song requested by Scruggs "love is just a four letter word" seems like a different version of "it ain't over now baby blue"

Have to like the Volkswagen commercial with Elaine Stritch's "Are You Having Any Fun" which she recorded in 1956.
Lyrics:
Fellows with a million smackers and nervous indigestion
Rich fellows
Eating milk and crackers, I'll ask you one question
What you getting out of living?
Who cares for what you've got if you're not having any fun?
Are you getting any loving?
If other people do, why can't you? Have a little fun
All the bees go out and play
Even the old gray mare down home
Has got to have hay, hey, hey!
You ain't gonna live forever
So while you're young and gay, still okay
Have a little fun
Life is full of ifs and buts
Even the squirrels save and save
And what have they got? Nuts!
You ain't gonna live forever
So while you're young and gay, still okay
Have a little fun, son
Take it on the run, son
Get yourself some mone', son
Do it all for one, son
Timmy, take your mom, son
And have
Have a little fun

Reminded me of Dale as well, and Johnny Burnett and other early rockabilly stars. Maybe even a little Carl Perkins. But........if you watched those videos, it's clear she's an original; didn't copy nobody - at least not consciously.

User: firenze
Message:
Never quite got into the Stones music. Couple good songs. Rest pretty predictable and bland. No real growth.
User: BuzzClik
Message:
"Growth" depends upon perspective. Do you recall the disco-era "Emotional Rescue" where Jagger sang the entire song in falsetto a la Barry Gibbs?
We were sitting in our favorite Happy Hour bar (favorite only because of the $1 pitchers), and that song came on the bar's stereo system. One of our crew was as into the Stones as one could be. We asked him how he liked the new Stones song, and he grumbled that he hadn't heard it yet. "It's playing now." After a few seconds of listening, his denial became one of those frightening, loud laughs that indicates that the person's brain just melted in the face of unfathomable tragedy.
Growth might be the wrong word. Maybe outgrowth, kinda like a nasty form of skin cancer.
