    I love the opening part. all members of that star crossed group (it's an epic tale of mismanagement and missed opportunities) were lead vocalists.Bob Mosely in this case IIRC. Dave Freiberg (QSMS and Jefferson's various configuration-Airplane, Starship etc) was an alum of the same HS I graduated from. I recall him noting these guys had as much talent as the other big bay area superstars (GD, JA, etc) they just had all sorts of bad luck

    All right. That's not Steve Winwood singing, though, right? (maybe, he does the counterpoint?).

    I agree that there are a lot of different, appealing elements in the opening that, individually, could be parts of a hit song: the folksy feel, with the Indian flavor, and the classic 60's alternative sound of the vocal. But maybe there are too many, that aren't sufficiently developed, at least for this to have been a hit song-- which pretty much needs to have the recurrent "hook." Does most of their stuff follow this eclectic pattern?

    Hey, it's the letter "Q." At least I spared you all, from the lip-synching.

    Sixth Avenue Heartache



    My favorite part of the song is the chorus-- "well, the same black line that was drawn on you, was drawn on me,/ and now it's drawing me in: Sixth Avenue Heartache"-- and the additional voice doesn't generally come out as well balanced, with everything else, in the live versions. But this live version, nevertheless, is pretty good:




    This is the only one of the Wallflowers songs that I know of, that I like. Is it only me, who hears very much a Tom Petty sound, especially in the vocal? When I watch the video, I think my mind may've over emphasized that resemblance, until I listen again, to just the music.

    Not bad. And I caught the album's clever wordplay: "Merry Axemas." Speaking of which-- my seeing Zakk Wylde on the list of names, reminded me, as long as we're on "S," of this song:

    Stillborn

    But, since "stillborn" seems the wrong message to leave people, coming here Xmas morning, I'll include one more, for this letter:

    Sunshine, On My Shoulders
