In an effort to stop the senseless violence and destruction of our planet, Jeebus has bestowed upon me the brave task of working out once and for all what the 10 best songs of all time are*. It is hoped that with the unveiling of this list all war will cease, the global economy can recover and teenagers can be a happy lot once more.
Have you noticed them lately? They seem to be a sad bunch what with their 'woe is me' music and their moody vampire novels. Anyway, it will all be a thing of the past once they take a butchers at these classic tunes. The fact they are all from the 80s is pure coincidence and proof that music peaked two decades ago:
(In chronological order)
1. Somebody's Baby - Jackson Browne
2. Wouldn't It Be Good - Nik Kershaw
3. Out Of Touch - Hall & Oates
4. I Can Dream About You - Dan Hartman
5. Invisible Touch - Genesis
6. Stuck With You - Huey Lewis & The News
7. Higher Love - Steve Winwood
8. Live It Up - Mental As Anything
9. Love Changes (Everything) - Climie Fisher
10. King Of Wishful Thinking - Go West

A call to anyone half smart in the music industry
I was watching (once again) a great little indie flick from 1990 called 'Cadence' starring Charlie Sheen, Laurence Fishburne and former President Bartlet.
One of the highlights of the film is the appearance of a Mr Harry Stewart who plays the role of Harry 'Sweetbread' Crane. Now 'Sweetbread' doesn't talk in the film but boy can he sing.
Here is a snippet from the film:
Now I'm not a religious man (Jeebus can back me up on that) but you must be dead not to feel the emotion in that song. A song mind you that Harry Stewart wrote himself.
With a song and a voice like that, he should have made it big in at least the Christian Music charts let alone the secular. Because Harry Stewart dropped off the face of the planet not long after 'Cadence' was released, the interweb is full of conjecture of his whereabouts but the most consistent story is that he lives in a shelter and not doing too well.
What an absolute shame that a talent like that is wasted to the world. If anyone out there has any sort of clout - find Harry Stewart.
We would all be grateful.
