Morgana King Does NOT Do The Beatles Better Than The Beatles

[JSngry]

I'll entertain arguments about her Donovan, although that's probably more to Jimmy Haskell's credit.

[JSngry]

In fact, I'm giving Haskell some major props here for doing the whole "psychedelic easy listening" thing that TTK notes so admiringly in other works, and doing it very, very well here.

But Morganna King ain't happening here.

the 2 morgana albums of the 60s on mainstream with big torrie zito arrangements are definitive.

all the rest of her work is garbage, as far as i'm concerned.

Bill Heine quotes King's ex-husband Tony Fruscella:

"The poets took over, and their energy drew over those guys with the funny haircuts, the B-E-A-T-L-E-S, and Tony Fruscella started to pull his hair out of his head and said, “Man, this is the end,” and it was. "

That's no excuse for sucking!

Face it: NOBODY does Beatles better than Beatles.

I remember finding Morganna's dreadful recording of "Human Nature" and left it on a saxophonist's answering machine. The response was, "What in the heck was that? It was awful!"

[Chuck Nessa]

The Muse recordings are worthy of consideration.

[JSngry]

I have considered them and...I guess I just don't get her.

Interesting interview - one man's life in another America.

Turning off your mind, relaxing, and floating downstream is no longer the exclusive province of "the young." Everyone is doing it, from a middle-aged accountant in Peoria on his smoke break, to a pretty housewife in suburban Connecticut planning a fondue party. The vibrations of today are in the air - we need only open our hearts and minds to receive them.

Here we go:

I could've gotten all up in this if they've wiped the vocal tracks and put damn near anybody else (except maybe Speedy Relief and/or Rusty Warren, including Edye Gorme and/or Sebastian Cabot) on instead.

Big props to Haskell for that chart, but it's not his album, ya' know? Too bad.

[Chuck Nessa]

Arguments in the margins.

[JSngry]

But on the page, nevertheless.

[Chuck Nessa]

It is your page.

[JSngry]

Nah. It's too big a book for that.

[Chuck Nessa]

But the printing is so faint.

Thus cometh the Digital Age.

Wait a minute -- Morgana King did the Beatles?

(I'll be here all week.)

P.S. What's going on at or about the 2:35 minute mark of "Tomorrow Never Knows" is a soundtrack for Purgatory.
