I noticed some time back that in my digital library the most repeated title by different artists was indeed America and was going to do a post about it at some point - Most covered above although interestingly I also had a track called America by that Mexican guitarist Carlos Santana! Wonder how he's feeling today (still with us, just checked).<br /><br />Watched Neil D by the way in his sparkly shirt - fabulous performance and shirt but all wrong now in terms of the direction of travel. Was also impressed by the mental microwave line - Shouldn't have owned up as none of us would have remembered it from that great show (although 20 years ago, seriously?).Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-49460771204945038882017-01-20T12:11:01.463+00:002017-01-20T12:11:01.463+00:00Ah well, talent borrows, genius steals!Ah well, talent borrows, genius steals!Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267504526414194713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-15350504855910946522017-01-20T11:43:39.623+00:002017-01-20T11:43:39.623+00:00Oh, and I wish I could take credit for the mental ...Oh, and I wish I could take credit for the mental microwave, but it was stolen from Gus Hedges in Drop The Dead Donkey 20 odd years ago.

Love it.<br /><br />Secondly, how about The Nice's instrumental version of Leonard Bernstein's America, from West Side Story. Yes, I know, I know... but it sort of rocks. And Keith Emerson (in The Nice pre-EL&P) has described it as the first ever instrumental protest song, so it sort of fits for today's Trumpton Riot.
