submitter: The latest Sheryl Crow whine fest...but she used to be she's STILL hot so it is ok

FTFY

On "God Bless This Mess," she sings that President Bush after 9/11 "spoke words of comfort with tears in his eyes/Then he led us as a nation into a war all based on lies."

So fearless, so noble. Truly reminiscent of John Adams, John Hancock or Patrick Henry. Stick it to the man, dear!

I bought her last album. The music is great, but the lyrics make me wonder if I should kill myself or go bowling. Damn, biatch. See a shrink.

I've been a Sheryl Crow fan for probably most of semi-young life. This album isn't all that bad, in my opinion.

She's still a hottie. Yeah, her music is nothing but Lillithfair\Oprah material, but I bet she's a freak in the sack.

used to be hot???

go bowling bro, go bowling

Friend of mine is in the sound-rigging business for the big halls/stadiums here in Vancouver and has stated, bar-none, that SC is the biggest diva/biatch he's ever had the misfortune to work with. The best? Sarah McGlaghlin (sp?): must be the home-town discount.

Sheryl Crowe is political? Good, if there's one thing our state department needs is someone who can do a lot of drugs and still play a minor 7th chord.

So Sarah McGloughlin is the best diva/biatch? Or am I missing the point?

Hey, it takes a lot of chutzpah to regurgitate a dead horse line like that.

when was she hot?

i don't remember this.

Did she talk about how her first album was a ripoff of a former friend and how she ruined his life?

I'd smack it!

I'd hit it like a one-balled bicyclist.

Six years ago, her song "Steve McQueen" originally contained the lines, "We've got liars in the White House/And all our pop stars look like porn." She reluctantly scrapped it, afraid to offend Bill Clinton fans.

That would not be the name I'd be looking for.

I like the way she plays with her G-string.

Care to elaborate on that one? Sounds interesting and I haven't heard it before.

Sheryl Crow's still smokin'.

And the CD is good too... finally made a quirky CD a la the 1996 self-titled again.

They sort of covered it on the Behind The Music about her, but spinned it to put her in a good light.

I was also curious, so I used google and got a hit to wikipedia:

In 1992, Crow recorded her first attempt at her debut album with Phil Collins' producer, Hugh Padgham. The self-titled debut album was slated to be released on September 22, 1992, but was ultimately rejected by her label. However, a handful of cassette copies of the album were leaked along with press folders to be used for album publicity. This album has been widely dispersed via file sharing networks and fan trading over the years.

Sheryl then began dating Kevin Gilbert and joined him in an ad hoc group of musicians known to everyone in the group as the Tuesday night music club (hence the name of Sheryl's first album), who came together on Tuesdays to work on the album. Many of them share songwriting credits with Crow.

The group existed as a casual songwriting collective prior to its association with Crow, but rapidly developed into a vehicle for her debut album after her arrival (she was at the time dating Kevin Gilbert, who actually co-wrote most of the songs for the TNMC album along with Crow, Baerwald, Ricketts, Bottrell, Schwartz and MacLeod). Her relationship with Gilbert became acrimonious soon after the album release and there were disputes about songwriting credits. Crow claimed to have written them in interviews later. Both Gilbert and Baerwald castigated Crow publicly in the fallout, although Baerwald would later soften his position. A similar tension would arise with TNMC member Bill Bottrell after her second album, over which he collaborated, at least in the early stages.

sure, if you're into pecs on a chick

Thanks for the info... just another reason to hate her. I heard her interview on NPR the other week. It was excruciating... which makes me wonder why I listened to the whole thing. Eh, nothing else was on I guess.

"she knocked out 24 songs in 40 days."

This is what's wrong with music today.

Sheryl Crow. Blah, blah, blah. She is hot, though, except for the sharp knees. How do you think Lance became a uni-nad?

wow, posting in stereo

I remain mixed on The Crow. She's drop-dead beautiful and has an awesome set of . . . pipes. Also knows her way around a pop hook. Butttt, she has not managed to remain immune of that whiny, self-absorbed vagina-gazing that afflicts so many female artists.

That being said. . . Steve McQueen. One of the best rock songs of the past 20 years.

She also did a few porn movies, but keeps forgetting to mention that....

Used to be hot? Okay, smitty, whatever floats your boat. I, however, would still love to dip my meat wick in her squish biscuit. Excessively.

/never really cared for her music, but her body is fantastic

Insert your own "eat crow" line here. I can't think of one.

Scott the Twat: That being said. . . Steve McQueen. One of the best rock songs of the past 20 years.

Really? I'm, uh... REALLY? With all the songs of the last 20 years? I'm just saying, I'm pretty sure Steve McQueen would have ran over her in his Mustang if he knew what the hell she had done with his name.

/to each his own.
//just messin' with ya.

Thanks for finding some details. I pretty much stopped listening to her after I heard this. Never was much of a fan, but the whole "singer/songwriter" schtick is just way too pedestrian now. It was ruined 35 years ago by Carly Simon and James Taylor. Meh.

LordZorch: She also did a few porn movies, but keeps forgetting to mention that....

Wait... what?

On "God Bless This Mess," she sings that President Bush after 9/11 "spoke words of comfort with tears in his eyes/Then he led us as a nation into a war all based on lies."

Heard this snippet on her NPR interview and my eyes rolled so far back in my head I lost vision for three days.

No matter what political stripes you wear, this is just plain bad songwriting. Political protest music is hard enough to write as it is, because politics come from the head rather than the heart. This is why most songs -- and most of the good ones -- are about visceral emotions -- hate, love, bitterness, joy. Not House Bill HR20123.

Metaphor and allusion make more powerful words than bumperstickerisms.

But then again, Sheryl Crow once sang, "I bring you apples from the vine."

Mmmm, vine apples.

Goes a bit deeper than that. If you have the time to read, here is the full story.

From the article:


And his Tuesday night cohorts describe Crow -- who refused to be interviewed for this story -- as a marginally talented singer who exploited his skills and theirs in a ruthless grab for success.

THIS.

/ask Eric Clapton, Kid Rock and everyone else she's banged to get a hit
//it's not who you know, but who you blow

Wolf Nipple Chips: Goes a bit deeper than that. If you have the time to read, here is the full story.

Geebus. I had no idea.

When the TNMC demo first came out I heard it over at the home of a radio DJ I knew who told me it was "a co-op group and the vocalist used to sing backup for Don Henley." As the album got famous it suddenly became Sheryl Crow and no one else. I figured that was SOP for the music industry but I'm always willing to harbor a grudge over song-stealing. Too bad, I liked TNMC but every thing since has been pretty bland to my ears.

Nice nude photos on GIS, though.

She's annoying because she never goes away.

There is some kind of law somewhere that says Sheryl Crow has to be included on every tribute record and most other people's records.

Funny - if all those early 90's era hippychicks knew that Crow was jacking credits for her muzak, they wouldn't be so quick to purchase petchuli (sp) in her name...

Damn - When I first saw the headline I thought it said the late Sheryl Crow.
