I had read a few headlines in the last week or so about the fact that it had come to light that the US Government had used musical torture on people at Guantanamo Bay. One of the rumored tunes used was the Sesame Street theme song. Yeah, I can see that being torture. Well my first thought when reading the headlines was, "that's why I listen to country music, who could use that as torture?

Words and Pictures by Thomas HaunerRosanne Cash performed for a sold-out crowd Saturday night at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn to celebrate the release of her latest album, The List. The album, like Ms. Cash’s own repertoire, spanning both genres and epochs, is a selection of songs from a list of 100 that her father, Johnny Cash, presented to her in 1973 as a rudimentary syllabus of country,

She does a fine job with all the tunes.One more for you ...

Was listening to the new Springsteen-Rosanne duet "Sea of Heartbreak" and ended up coming across this old video. The look she gives the camera walking down the street about 20 seconds into this is kind of a "wow" moment -- she really had it going on in the early 80s -- and still does!
