People Get Ready, with Taylor Dane

Chambers Brothers version

i refuse to compete in those wars, shy.

so i'll grant you the Crown and name you King. heh, i already know none of you would enjoy the vast majority of what i like, because most of you have no taste. ;-)

actually, i think the reason i don't get into these music posts is because i'm lazy, and because i've always got a stream of music going and don't like to interrupt that with gurgling youtubes. it is fun, however, to see what music various people like. for example, how can such a bright guy like Atrios have such sucky taste in music? it boggles the mind.
