Of course he stole it all from Orbison, and I mean that in the most positive way. Isaak’s music is very cinematic — perfect for taking your head somewhere else during a long drive.

And Roy Orbison. My parents put them on all of the time when we went on long road trips, and I didn't realize I liked them until they came on the radio after I left for college. I told my friends I was in a Roy Orbison kick and they all gave me a look like I'd just dropped their baby, but I can't help it. I too have a soft spot for Chris Isaak. And Roy Orbison.

I like to break out their early albums for heavy fuzz box usage listening pleasure or "Caught In The Act" for a great rendition of "The Railroad". Oh, and on a different note, I thought you might find this interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0loqSdc-rk You know about Cake? Yeah, you’re right.

I like Grand Funk Railroad. There, I said it. Nobody told me they were bad, so I dug them. I know most Americans of today loathe 'em although I can't really understand why. Ahem.

For my own part, I loved Gordon Lightfoot (still do), while my 2 roommates grooved to Janis Joplin. Today I'm a huge Moody Blues fan but ironically knew nothing of them during their heyday. Must have been studying too hard; of course, ours was the class affected by Kent State, so there were distractions of a more serious nature with which to contend. I dislike people who think inside an ideological box; why not be able to appreciate any artist of any genre? You don't eat the same food every day; why would you only like one type of artist? I loved Bread and Marvin Gaye; disco and funk; solid gold oldies and Sinatra. The point being, if it's great music for you, it only matters to your own ears.

I knew there was a good reason why I liked that song! Must check out the Bread/Gates oeuvre. I had no idea (on either count). I knew there was a good reason why I liked that song!
