Potter’s a force-and-a-half, and her already beyone-her-years howl is aging pretty wonderfully, which means good things for broken-down weepers like “Ragged Company” and the last-ditch break-up “Apologies”. But she’s also getting comfortable going full sexpot on tracks like the new “Sugar”, a bizzaro-world Def Leppard rejoinder . . .
Thank you Billboard, for making the same Def Leppard reference I made back when I first heard the song.

the bangles : hero takes a fall
First chick band that I thought was great. Listen to those harmonies and that lead guitar sound. Before they “sold out” (which they themselves admit) they had a great thing going. In 1985 I hung out pre and post show with them in a bar in Virginia Beach – still a night to remember. Susanna is still doing it with Matthew Sweet – Rain, Different Drum, Cinnamon Girl, You’re So Vain, Maggie May – check out “Under The Covers”.
zooey for the win

Love it – “let the boss do her thing”! That’s funny. He mentions Scott’s guitar on Stop The Bus…. after listening to the recording live from NYE, I realized it was Scott’s solo during this song that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and give me goose bumps all over!
Nice review. That really was a killer show and it’s so nice to be reminded of it.
Very nice ! . . love or hate Billboard . it gets a ton of attention.
I always enjoy a Janis reference . . and feeding it to some folks.
Mojo you made me laugh . . enjoy the validation but don’t think anyone doubts your knowledge of music.
Well, at least my knowledge of 80’s hair metal one armed drummer ballads.
Specialization can be a good thing . . . . .
Great review!
Mojo-
I’m sure that Billboard is keepin’ an eye on this site, and they were just using you as a source reference!!
