I don't know what I did to rate two tunes, but that was an awesome birthday present. Both were great. Happy together brings me back to a simpler time when all I had was an am radio and there was only one music station on it. An oldies station that seemed to play this tune every hour. It was the only one that stuck. Jockey Full of Bourbon was an awesome pick too, definitely one of my favorite Waits tunes, although I'm going to have to scratch that off my drinking song list now. You nailed two of my favorite live albums there too, Filmore East and Kiss Alive are at the top of my list.

Although I'm not going to be rushing out to get the CD, I thought the Ozzy tune was great. Honestly, the last Ozzy album I listened to was Bark at the Moon, which is kind of why I stopped buying them. I find it hard to believe that is even him singing. How is it possible that he is so articulate on this song but can't utter a single legible word in normal conversation?

I thought the Mary J Blige song was good for what it was but probably would have liked it more if it was a different tune, not a big fan of that one. I think I've just heard it way too many times.

I'm all for the format change. Whatever makes it easier for you works for me, as long as it keeps the show going. Just keep in the Music and the banter and it will all be golden.

I do have to commend you both on your awesome display of musical prowess. I am in awe of your knowledge. Great intro too as always.

Hey Chris... glad you enjoyed your birthday "present" it was pretty awesome to be giving it also... I love the Ozzy song and will probably be buying the new cd right away. That song has been in my head since we did the episode. I am not surprised that he can sing and not talk... different part of the brain... other examples Mel Tillis and Bob Dylan...

Everybody that has commented... through here or by texting me have loved the Mary Blige version... one listener even went and bought it.

Yeah check in with eppy 59 more than a format change coming... Thank you fopr acknowledging Wade's intros... he puts some work into them and most of the time he knocks it out of the park... as far as my knowledge goes... well when Wade and I first got into music we each had a box full of index cards with every musician we owned on them and what bands they played in and actually had the audacity to "rate" them as to who was good and who was bad... yeah at 13 what did we know... A lot of that knowledge of who played where has stuck... now we do not do that... whichis sad I would love to have time to do that again from my 30 years later perspective.

Once again Chris thanks for listening

well the new ozzy song isnt that bad at all! it is like the more old school ozzy days! now im a fan of the Zakk years, specially because Zakk had become such a important part of the writing process. so to hear a Zakk-less ozzy album is a nice choice for the ozzman and i think he'll be the better for it! Also Zakk will continue to put out amazing music so its all good in this fans eyes..

I totally agree Carlos... I think the change needed to be done... now I am not letting Ozzy out of the douchebag tree because the way Zakk found out was still really crappy... But this song is such a throwback to what I originally loved about Ozzy...
