September 08, 2003Steve GoodmanI received this comment when I wrote a post about John Prine: Can I put in a plug for John's good friend Steve Goodman?. Yes, sir, you may. Steve Goodman died far too young from lukemia. He bit the dust in 1984, after hanging around with John Prine for many years. Wouldn't you LOVE to be in a hotel room with THOSE TWO when they started sling-shotting ideas for songs? I would love that experience. Steve left behind a few songs that I still love to play. "City of New Orleans" is perhaps the second-best train song of all time. Nothing will EVER beat "Orange Blossom Special," but Steve came close. "Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle? I can feel the wheels a-rumbling 'neath the floor." Is that a good line, or what? "Souvenirs" still breaks my heart. I lived that fucking song. And "Freaker's Ball" reminds me of things I did in the '70s. Yeah, life was all kinda crazy in those days. Maybe that's why Arnold's Oui interview about group-sex and dope-smoking doesn't bother me very much. Bejus. Times were different back then. I have a couple of Steve Goodman CDs that I still listen to today. The guy's been dead almost 20 years now. But his music still touches me. So YES, Charles. You SHOULD have mentioned him. Especially since warren zevon went to that great studio in the sky yesterday. Musicians die, but the music lives.

How can you be so right about music and so frikkin wrong about wine? Posted by: Jane Finch on September 8, 2003 06:33 PMman zevon was a cool dude, he was courageous till the end. I only hope I can do the same. Posted by: ken on September 8, 2003 07:08 PMI have two blogs on Zevon on ICH. One is an interview with Hunter S. Thompson. Check it out. Zevon rocked balls-out! Posted by: DaneBramage on September 8, 2003 08:36 PMWarren was a credit to his gender. Posted by: Velociman on September 8, 2003 09:09 PMGrowing up outside Chicago, I got to see him before he passed away. Too many favorites to list here, but I'll just mention one -- You Never Even Called Me By My Name. OK, two -- A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request. Posted by: charles austin on September 8, 2003 09:10 PMR I P Warren. Hope I can meet my end with equal grace and dignity. Two titans of rock, folk and country. Posted by: Larry on September 9, 2003 08:54 AMHaving met Warren just weeks before discovering he has cancer made me appreciate that opportunity even more. Warren's music has brought me great joy for many years and I will miss new creations greatly. A-man, if you haven't already, get his last album, it is AMAZING. Posted by: Dawn on September 9, 2003 08:59 AMHey, thought this was a post about Steve Goodman. Anyhow, you can't mention Goodman without mentioning "Door Number Three" and "Blue Umbrella." Posted by: rivlax on September 9, 2003 10:15 AMThe first time I run across this blog I see something about one of my favorite song writers - Steve Goodman. It's good to know that there are others out there who appreciate a well composed song as well as the good turn of a phrase. Go, Cubbies, Go! Posted by: Bastard on September 9, 2003 10:43 AMI also like "There are men who love wimmen who love men." Posted by: Acidman on September 9, 2003 05:06 PMi first heard a dying cub fan's last request, and that song stayed in my head for years, and made me curious. then i heard souvenirs, and it breaks my heart too.
