This Bob Dylan blues track from the second Bootleg Series album is essentially the classic Blood On the Track song ‘Meet Me in the Morning’ with different lyrics.
When Googling facts about the song, I stumbled upon a website called ‘…Just Another Tune’ that really blew my mind in terms of its depth and insight.
Sitting at #10 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 is Ariana Grande, who has had about as good a year as anybody in the music world.
Having enjoyed her performance for years on Victorious, it’s nice to see her hit it big the way she has. That good will is tempered a bit by the reports of her outrageous diva behavior (such as being carried like a baby from her trailer to the recording studio, which is the latest rumor).
I have a vague recollection of the Jonas Brothers being a thing several years back, but I couldn’t tell you how many years back, or what sort of a thing they actually were.
Obviously they were one more incarnation of the boy band craze — another New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys or One Direction. But I couldn’t name a single song or controversy tied to them (there had to be a controversy, right? Isn’t there always?).
Holding the #8 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 is Meghan Trainor with ‘Lips are Movin.’ It was her call to leave off the ‘G.’
This gives Trainor two songs in the top eight, quite the accomplishment for a woman who was completely unknown at this time last year.
Now she’s one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Wonder if that will still be true a year from now.
Taylor Swift sits at the #6 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with the juggernaut that is ‘Shake It Off.’ It’s upsetting that a song this bad is Swift’s biggest hit.
At #7 is Sam Smith with ‘I’m Not the Only One.’ Smith had a big 2014, his ‘Stay With Me‘ dominating the charts for weeks.
I don’t like that song and I don’t like this one. I don’t like Sam Smith. I do not like him, Sam I Am.
