Then and Now: Episode 40 No One Can Tell Us We're Wrong
Man, Sundays really throw me. Around here, our Sunday - for the rest of the month - is Friday. So I tend to forget when it's Sunday. I went to some stores yesterday at 10:15, only to find them closed. They don't open until 11 on Sundays.
Anyhoo, I remember the video for this song. Who doesn't love a prostitute dance scene? Almost better than a zombie dance scene. Because of the runaway theme of the video, I thought this song was the big anthem in Legend of Billy Jean, staring Helen Slater and Christian Slater (no relation). Turns out, that was Pat Benetar's Invincible.

Jann Arden is Canadian, I hear about her from time to time on the television. I knew who she was before I moved here, they played her on The Mountain. But she's not as "popular" 'round here as Nelly Furtado. Nelly Furtado! Nelly Furtado! That's all I hear about. Nelly, Nelly, Nelly! The first time I heard this cover, I was unsure, but on the second listening, I grew to really like it. It's from an album Jann did of covers, and maybe I'll feature another one soon.

Comments closed on older entries, whenever I get around to it, to avoid spam.Nelly's "popular" because she actually makes money outside of Canada. Jann's beloved because she makes a living almost entirely off the Canadian market. (I like them both... but Jann has my heart. She gives fantastically funny live shows -- worth seeing!)
