I saw Pretty and Twisted in concert back in 95 or 96.
Do you know what Johnette is up to these days? I know was living in the desert in California. I love her solo work (especially the song "Jazz on Vinyl'), but it's been a while since she has released anything.
I saw CB at the New Daisy in Memphis before she did Pretty and Twisted and I have seen hundreds of concerts and she blew me away - she was better live than recorded. I'll never not have a crush on her.
You know, I've no idea but I'm gonna see if I can find any info out. Every now and then she runs through my head and I wonder the same thing.

Sometimes I think that Leonard knew exactly when to leave this world.

His last album is so profound.

I was so exhausted by the time he died in late 2016, all I could think was “at least he was old.”

I’m partial to the Concrete Blonde version from Pump up the volume.

I'm partial to anything Concrete Blonde. I hav ebbed listening to their song "Carry Me Away" a lot lately.

Johnette Napolitano is a Goddess. Might I suggest "Pretty & Twisted" - that's the project and album name. This is the only video they made that I'm aware of. Dear Marlon Brando is another good one but Souvenir will give you chills.

Train Song was a breakup song for me during that time.

She put out an album in 2022. It's REALLY good from what I can tell

The soundtrack version is crap. The movie version, I think was actually cohen.

I fulfilled a bucket list item when I got to hear her sing it live (circa 2002, Bumbershoot)

Don Henley covers it on the Cohen tribute album.

Came here to say this and literally wearing a Concrete Blonde shirt as I reply.
Johnette has a generational voice and I always felt like that if they had wanted it, they could have rocketed to the top of music popularity

Exactly why I felt like sharing it.

I miss the days when musicians were just effortlessly cool.
Leonard Cohen walks onto the stage wearing an outfit that literally any man could wear in his day to day life, and he just oozes cool.
Michael Hutchence was like that. Michael Stipe. Eddie Vedder.

Everybody knows that you’ve been discreet… but there were so many people you just had to meet…without your clothes. And everybody knows.

Love him. Thanks for sharing this.

Love Concrete Blonde's version!

This should be our generation anthem. It’s perfect.
Pump up the volume always resonated better with me way more than any of the others.
Anyone who says that GenX had a shot at changing anything…
This Song.
