The Playlist
1 Eagles – Desperado: (Story of my life)
2 Jackson Browne – Yeah Yeah (From his “Standing in the Breach” CD in tribute to the survivors of the horror of the earthquake in Haiti)
3 Elton John – Funeral for a Friend/Loves Lies Bleeding (even Elton calls it his piece de resistance)
4 Eric Clapton – Let It Rain (no one else is Eric Clapton or ever will be)
5 Stephen Stills – Go Back Home (If anyone’s close to Clapton on guitar, it’s him. And Clapton even played on that album’s title song)
6 Beach Boys – God Only Knows (Even the Beatles said it was the greatest song by any rock band ever)
7 Gregg Allman – I’m No Angel (Part II of the story of the story my life. And believe it or not, I do like Cher)
8 Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band – Hollywood Nights (Glen Frey’s friend and a song about the life I wish I could’ve had. Sorta’…)
9 Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers – Jammin’ Me (The one guy I never got to see in concert. And everything he says to “take back,” I agree)
10 Scotland Yard Gospel Choir – Tear Down The Opera House (Little known but locally popular Chicago indy group long featured a former student of this college professor (me)
11 Journey – Don’t Stop Believing (My White Sox wore out this song and literally Steve Perry’s vocal chords en route to their 2005 World Series sweep)
12 Def Leppard – Hysteria (My ’80s were marked by stoned-out Def Leppard concerts and the memory of this song after my then S.O dumped me after I turned down her marriage proposal – really)
13 Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band – Bobby Jean (Ever lose a friend? We all have. Bruce reminds us what it feels like as only he can)
14 Roy Orbison – Pretty Woman (national anthem of the ’50s)
15 Four Seasons – Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (A slick, piercing perfect-harmony cover of the Shirelles’ hit song): Well, will you? Tell me now, and I won’t ask again…)
