Have I already done Linda Ronstadt? I should keep a list. Well, she deserves an encore if I have, since she’s one of the few rock stars who could also actually, really, sing. Here’s a couple of songs from 1977 performances, Desperado and Blue Bayou:
And one more for good measure, since I’m a big Gershwin fan, and by way of proving that she really can sing: Someone to Watch Over Me.
I really do plan, by the way, to get back to serious political blogging at some point. I mentioned last week that I had been laid up with babesiosis, a particularly nasty tick borne disease. Even after the medications got rid of the worse symptoms, I found myself constantly tired. Turns out that the babesiosis rested on a base layer of Lyme Disease, so I am just starting treatment for that. I am somewhat reliably informed that I should feel fairly normal in another couple of days. Meanwhile, for every cloud, as they say. I have lost about 9 pounds since this all started, and I am allowing myself to fantasize that I can keep that weight off once I’m back to normal. Doubt is creeping in, however, since even now, with only slight improvement, I can feel the ice cream cravings coming back. In any event, I am hoping to regain my energy, and with it my outrage, in the next few days so I can start ranting again.
