Song (or book, movie, etc) that gave the artist a pass for life |
|
My example would be Mr. Dylan. I'm sure most people would nominate "Like A Rolling Stone" or "Tangled Up In Blue"; I go with "Hurricane." What say you?

2. Joseph Heller - Catch-22. Orson Wells - Citizen Kane. Harper Lee - To Kill a Mockingbird |
|
Lifetime passes for those three for sure.

5. Michael Oldfield - "Tubular Bells" |
|
He followed it up with other things (most notably Ommadawn), but . . . I mean, COME on, did he really need to?

7. Rod Stewart "You Wear it Well" and "Gasoline Alley" |
|
makes up for "Tonight's the Night".
Oh, and Uma Thurman in "Henry and June" made up for the Kill Bill movies.

21. I read that Burgess hated Clockwork Orange, The book that is. |
|
Well, not hated, but was unhappy that this would be the book he's best known for.
And then there's the thing with the two different endings.

10. Tommy Womack's Going Nowhere |
|
Honorable mention goes to his book The Cheese Chronicles, the best book you've never read about a band you've never heard of.

11. Sinead O'Connor's "The Lion and the Cobra" |
|
One of the best albums of the 1980s. It puts her personal high strangeness in perspective.

12. Leonard Cohen, "Hallelujah". And no man can argue with that. |
|
Johnny Cash, "Folsom Prison Blues".
I still miss The Man In Black.

I'm one of those strange people who collects versions of "Hallelujah." I'm a total piker with only about 20 or so. There are people who have many, many recordings. And I have to say, Jeff Buckley still makes me weep.
And Johnny Cash has so many I can't say any one would do the trick.

25. My Sharona by The Knack |
|
Catcher in the Rye occurred to me as well. Maybe Joyce Maynard's 9-month affair with Salinger when she was a waif of a teenager and he was already an old guy, but that would be disgusting.
