Now if current altie type bands, rock or country or whatever, were to dig
back to my AM listening days, they'd be covering (OK, I'll exclude the
Beatles and the Stones): "98.6," "Don't Walk Away, Renee" (God, I love that
song), "Snoopy and the Red Baron," "Incense and Peppermints," "Ichycoo
Park," a lot of Supremes, and that's all I can remember of those early
radio moments, sixth grade or so. Of course, the rest of the time I spent
watching "Batman" and collecting Batman cards, with the put-together
puzzle on the back. Baseball cards, too.
Occasionally, though, I'd accidently rotate the dial to WSLR radio in
Akron, and the legendary "Jaybird" would be spinning 60s country. I always
rotated back to the top 40 station before I had a chance to notice those
dreaded Anita Kerr singers!
Anyhow, this is mainly just a sly plea for a modern alt.country band to
cover "Don't Walk Away Renee." -- Terry Smith
ps does Lee Ann Womack have a new song out, where she talks about doing a
lot of nasty things to a female rival, who's "a small target, that skinny
little thing" or something like that? It's a great tune, what I heard of
it on the radio.
