Near miss for me along with “Lucky You.” Ian is a genius.

Here's the Billboard story on Trevor Wilson. It's long, but a good read. www.billboard.com/music/rock/p...

Pearl Jam’s ‘Jeremy’: The Untold Story of Video Star Trevor Wilson’s Fascinating Life & Tragic Death

Wilson, only 12 when he starred in the landmark video, quit the business soon after and turned his attention to working with the United Nations in the Middle East as an adult.

23: Like a Child Again, The Mission

This one will make you feel good ...

"And I'm breathing you in
just like the morning air ...

"You make me happy
and I hope you feel the same
And I'm in heaven
and it feels like a gentle rain ..."

If you are planning a visit to New Orleans, a tour with Denise Augustine is a must. She is amazing, and we learned so much from her tour.

No. 24: Crazy, Seal

Top 10 hit around the world (No. 1 on the Eurochart) was written by Seal and Guy Sigsworth, who also produced the song with Trevor Horn. Music & Media called it a "classy, galloping mix of funk, soul and pop."

Yes! So many great B sides. Sci-fi Lullabies is my favorite Suede album. :)

No. 25: Have You Ever Been This Low? by Suede

Lots of people like "Trash," which was released in 1996 and made it to No. 3 in the UK (No. 1 in Finland). But this B side, written by Brett Anderson and Richard Oakes, is the better song IMO.

Had no idea he did this ... and I checked Setlist.com and found he covered a lot of songs live. Who knew? Was lucky to see him twice in the 1990s.
