"Stop Draggin My Heart Around" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I think it should be one of yours too (if it's not already).  Let's take a few moments to watch the genius of Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty together in this video.
 

I love old videos.  There's always a "meh, this take is good enough" feel to them.  Stevie's, um, not quite on track with her lip syncing (this has nothing to do with the drugs, I'm sure) but she's enchanting nonetheless.  This is a very simple song to play on guitar and really fun to sing with someone.

While we're on the subject of duets by Stevie and Tom, a much more obscure but still gorgeous one is "Insider" from his excellent album Hard Promises.  Some of the harmonies and lyrics in this song make me want to cry, in the best possible way.

They're like peanut butter and chocolate, these two.

I'm listening to the new Laura Veirs on Rhapsody (they should pay me for all this shilling, instead of raising my subscription rates) because she's excellent.

And, Kelli dedicated a song to me!  I'm so delighted, thanks Kelli!

P.S. Vote for Vox in the Webbys. 

If someone had told me this was happening, I would have been interested in the Superbowl!

"Stand Back", one of my favorite songs, complete with Waddy Wachtel on guitar.  Hello!

* Thanks Anil for telling me after the fact.

First I find out that Krispy Kreme is giving out free doughnuts today.

Then I find out Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty are touring together.

Keep the good news coming!

I have to join in the YouTube fun.  And now, some videos of my heroes.
