This is the part of the #XPNCountdown where I love the songs, but didn't vote for them because I knew other people would.

I remember when Brandi Carlile did this cover of "Creep" at the XPoNential festival, circa 2006. It had been very hot all day, and she came on at sunset, with cool breezes blowing off the river. It was lovely. #XPNCountdown #IWasThere

First song from my list that I've actually heard! #136 "Strawberry Letter 23" by The Brothers Johnson, covering Shuggie Otis. I have the red "strawberry scented" vinyl version of the 45 rpm, that I borrowed from my sister, probably 40 years ago. #XPNCountdown

I should have voted for #221 "Everybody's Talkin'" by Nilsson. I adore this song. So glad other people included it on their list. #XPNCountdown

Yesterday, I turned off the radio and took a little nap, which caused me to miss one from my list: Wall of Voodoo covering "Ring of Fire" at #266. No more naps! #XPNCountdown

Listening to this Freedy Johnston version of "Wichita Lineman" reminds me that there's a difference between someone covering a great song, versus a great cover song. To my ears, this one is the former. #XPNCountdown

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

Cory Booker is displaying true leadership right now, and every elected Democrat needs to be meeting this moment like this.
This is NOT business as usual and your actions need to reflect that.
