Friday Night Videos

I first heard the Hollies' "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" in the spring of 1989 and completely fell in love with it. It took me quite a few more years, however, to appreciate the fact that it was probably the greatest John Fogerty homage ever recorded, even though Fogerty despised the song and even tried to sue the Hollies. I'd love to hear a Fogerty cover, but that'll never happen, as John does like to hold his grudges. Apart from that, this video clearly shows that 80s rockers weren't the only ones who made poor fashion decisions. (Huh. Looks like I already ran this one back in 2009... but I don't actually remember doing so, and I'm in a Hollies mood, so we'll go with the repeat).

The Hollies. "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress." Fantastic song, and one that takes me back to my college days, watching Aggie baseball games at Olson field with the legendary D.D. Grubbs in the announcer's booth. I still hate LSU.

Is it just me, but would John Fogerty covering this song be anything but sublime? Have a great weekend, folks!
