I'm Not the Kind of Girl You Take Home
I got Sheryl Crow's greatest hits album at Karstadt yesterday. It reminds me that I bought her debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club, when it first came out in 1993. And, less than a year later, sold it to the used CD store. I rarely sell CDs, honestly, because I almost always end up wanting (and often buying) them again later. I haven't re-bought that one, but I've kicked myself for getting rid of it more than once. I also have The Globe Sessions, which I love, and C'mon, C'mon, which is also great.
So, the greatest hits is good, although the European version is, unfortunately, missing the song "Steve McQueen" in favor of "C'mon, C'mon," which I guess was a bigger hit over here. Also, we have an extra track, "It's So Easy," a duet with Wolfgang Niedecken, whose name I don't recognize but I assume he's German. Mostly I'm happy to get this CD for the duet with Kid Rock, "Picture," and the songs from the other albums I don't have. And thankfully, her ill-conceived cover of "Sweet Child o' Mine" isn't on here.
I've been watching the BBC Pride and Prejudice again (the Colin Firth version, not the one from 1979, which I also own on video). While I have some very minor quibbles with things that were changed in this production, it is so successful at capturing the spirit of the novel that I never grow tired of it. I so love the way both Elizabeth and Darcy are shown as fallable, yet sympathetic. I'll continue watching tonight, for my favorite scene! Darcy's first proposal.
As longtime readers know, this is far from the first time the topic of Darcy has arisen on Raspberry World: A Confession; Bridget loves Darcy; a comparison of two Darcys; the Firth Chair; and much, much more. Oh, heck, see for yourself.
