Incomparable:
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.
Denounce the government and embrace
the flag. Hope to live in that free
republic for which it stands.
Give your approval to all you cannot
understand.
I was listening to Jeff Buckley's Grace, and was looking for lyrics to "Mojo Pin", and my quick google search included a link to a youtube video of a live performance video:
From there, I followed a link to footage from the same performance of "Last Goodbye" because, you know, it's a lovely song:
And then things started to get weird.
See, that had a link to a video of Scarlett Johanssen doing a cover of Tom Waits' "Yesterday is Here":
There was no way I couldn't check that out. Somewhat to my surprise, I was not repulsed.
From there, I follwed a link to a cover of the same song by Cat Power:
Didn't care for that one as much, but oh what it led me to: The Flaming Lips & Cat Power performing a pretty good cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs":
Which in turn led to video of TFL doing it with Peaches:
Which was interesting mostly for its oddity (the audio quality bites, too).
But the TFL & Cat Power video also had a link to Sabbath performing it in Paris in 1970:
That's pretty powerful.
It is also amusing to know that Ozzy's stage act hasn't changed a bit in 40 years.
