1. I kinda like Petra Haden’s version of “Yellow” on her album with Bill Frisell. And especially her version of Tom Waits’ “I Don’t Want To Grow Up.” She accomplished the ultimate musician badass move: grabbing someone else’s song by the throat and making it her own. Queen of the musician badass moves: Chrissie Hynde singing Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy”...and doing it on Sheryl Crow’s Central Park album.
2. A person with smiling eyes = instant love. If you have smiling eyes you also have the superpower of insulting someone to their face...and they won’t know if you are kidding or not.
