"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers -- "Free Fallin'"

Tom Petty has a new song out that has been getting repeat air time on one of the independent stations around... first time I heard it through, I couldn't tell if it was late 70s Petty or something more recent -- which means it's a very good.
"The internet's completely over. [...] The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you."

Savonarola

Mary Wells was Motown's second female recording artist and unlike  the first, Mable John, would go on to become a star with Motown.  She wrote her first single, Bye, Bye Baby:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2necn5WMipw

She had shown it to Berry Gordy in hopes that he would show it to Jackie Wilson (Gordy had co-written a number of Wilson's early hits, including "Lonely Teardrops" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nEfuE8Pw4U)).  Gordy had her sing it instead, she was only 17 when she recorded it; but sounds  much older.  This turned out to be a top 10 hit on the R&B charts, and unlike Barrett Strong, she would return to the charts, making her Motown's first star.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
