25. My favorite - original and cover - Ann Peebles/Humble Pie

&list=RDSmGig_b2QLI&start_radio=1

&list=RDnix2gFt-bZc&start_radio=1

Grew up listening the the Humble Pie version on the fantastic "Thunderbox" album and never knew the song was a cover until I visited the Rock and Soul Museum in Memphis in 2015!

This was part of an epic trip my cousin and I did that we called our "Southern Swing." Her bucket list item was Graceland; mine was Ivy Green, the birthplace and home of Helen Keller. (She laughed so hard when I got into it with then lady running the gift shop about how angry it makes me that nobody ever wants to discuss HK's politics/activism - she was NOT just an advocate for the disabled, but for all human rights. She supported the Eugene Debs campaign and helped found the ACLU!)

We also went to see the historic FAME recording studio in Muscle Shoals. The civil rights museum that they have erected at the Lorraine Motel was one of the most moving things I've ever seen in my life and I left it SOBBING with emotion.

It makes me very sad to think that I would not feel safe making that trip now.

[debm55]

197. Off topic, but Bob Weir's school buddy, John Barlow, pulled DU's bacon out of the fire

John Barlow was a genuine Renaissance man. Among many of his accomplishments he founded
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) represented DU and pulled DU’s bacon out of the fire.

https://www.eff.org/cases/righthaven-v-democratic-underground

Righthaven v. Democratic Underground

Democratic Underground -- represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Fenwick & West LLP, and attorney Chad Bowers -- was sued by Righthaven LLC on August 10 for a five-sentence excerpt of a Las Vegas Review-Journal news story that a user posted on the forum, with a link back to the Review-Journal website.

Righthaven has brought over 200 lawsuits in Nevada federal court claiming copyright infringement, even though they do not create, produce or distribute any content. Instead, they create lawsuits by scouring the Internet for content from Review-Journal stories posted on blogs and online forums, purporting to acquire the copyright to that particular story from Stephens Media LLC (the Review-Journal's publisher), and then suing the poster for infringement.

As part of its lawsuit business model, Righthaven claims damages of up to $150,000 under the Copyright Act's statutory damages provisions, seeks the target's domain name and uses these threats to attempt to push defendants into a quick settlement. In its answer and counterclaim, Democratic Underground asked the court to affirm that the excerpt of the article does not infringe copyright and is a fair use of the material, with no damages due to Righthaven.

On June 14, 2011, the Nevada federal court dismissed Righthaven's copyright claim, finding that the company did not own the copyright. The case for a declaration of non-infringement proceeded against Stephens Media, and resulted in a judgment of non-infringement.

176. Sky Blue and Black (Jackson Browne)

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low

I hear the sound of a world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made

If you ever need holding
Call my name and I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
Sky blue and black

Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I'd let go of your hand

Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were gonna end

And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold back
Sky blue and black

And I'd have fought the world for you (I'd have fought the world for you)
If I thought that you wanted me too (thought that you wanted me too)
Or put aside what was true or untrue (true or untrue)
If I'd known that's what you needed (if I'd known that's what you need)
What you needed me to do

But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow

If you ever need holding
Call my name and I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through (sky)

You're the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost
In everything I do
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you

In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
Sky, sky blue and black
