I'm also funny, love to make people laugh, write songs though I am a bad guitarist and fair singer. I am a Virgo! How dare you say I am a "bean counter," analytical and picky-picky! Just because I may be any or all of those things, doesn't mean I should be put down for them. Maybe he doesn't have a reflection in the mirror? He could scare a mirror into breaking into a billion pieces just so his reflection wouldn't show. Looked like the top part of his head had swollen up. I hadn't seen Dave Marsh in quite some time, so that video of him you posted kind of scared me. Rock critics are already a fairly intolerable bunch, so why would anyone want them to have more ammunition they could use to put down groups and singers they didn't or don't like? So, why should a critic have to have formal training? This would only make the critics who are rock snobs more snobbish than they already are, and they would likely b*tch about musicians not using certain scales or keys or time signatures or what have you. He puts great harmonies and voicings in his chords.With regards to every critic should be a trained musician, Muse, why? Most rock musicians have no formal training as musicians, and those who are able to write their own songs likewise have no formal training on songwriting. He’s a good songwriter and he’s a great harmony singer. “And you don’t say, ‘Well, that sucks.’ You say, ‘I like this song better.’ You know, you have to be encouraging, but I’ve known JD for a long time. “I know what he writes like and I know what he’s written before, so I know what I to compare it to – because a writer can’t be objective. For instance, Souther has said he still plays his new songs to Ronstadt first.

In fact, many of those connections remain, even after her retirement. Ronstadt doesn't take these relationships for granted anymore. They sound like a garage band on stage, but a good garage band.” They sounded exactly like they did on record because their arrangements put it so that everybody was flying in the same airspace. “Their songs and their arrangements are so good. “I loved Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers the best, because they really were a band,” she says. She became a huge fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, calling them “my favorite rock and roll band of all rock and roll bands.” "The Waiting," a Top 20 Petty hit, later appeared on Ronstadt's 1995 album Feels Like Home.

Then, I started doing as many of his songs as I could figure out how to do.”Ī concert update of Zevon's “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me” is featured on her new Live in Hollywood album Ronstadt also recorded “ Carmelita” and “ Mohammed’s Radio.” I learned ‘Hasten Down the Wind,’ I think from JD, and recorded it. JD Souther and Jackson Browne were really good friends with him, so I used to meet him sometimes and I loved his songs. We knew each other, just sort of through mutual friends. “Warren and I had mutual friends and I found out that he was moving out of his apartment on Beachwood up in Hollywood," Ronstadt says. Ronstadt, who left music after a Parkinson's diagnosis, said real estate played a role in becoming close with Zevon. It was just friends of friends of friends.” Wendy Waldman brought Billy Steinberg to me and I go, ‘Well, he’s a really good songwriter I’ll record some of his songs.’ That’s how we got ' How Do I Make You.' Mark Goldenberg wrote and I met him through Kenny Edwards and Karla Bonoff. I just figured that everybody in Los Angeles was a pretty good songwriter. “I have to say, I took it totally for granted," Ronstadt tells UCR in an exclusive interview.
