Everyone Has Got One Good Song (haven't they?)

  Welcome to the latest instalment of the badly titled Everyone Has Got one Good Song blog thing. Days 86-87! I was thinking of building the ultimate playlist with one simple rule. One artist. One song. Each day will feature a song by an artist whose birthday is that day and then nine other songs by nine different artists just because people like things to be in tens. The playlist is here -  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4exU9MUJMWaouOgnu7zmSl?si=I5fqk7VpQX6aDGec7xvqsQ&pi=e-IfIWXc5GT56R So, the idea was that you might want to follow and share and either have the playlist yourself or do your own or chat about it with me, you could use the hashtag #EHGOGS. I’m on Twitter X thing as @fourfoot Today’s selection is 2 days long! It is dedicated to birthday types Perry Farrell and Tracy Chapman. This blog is impressionistic and fucking vague. It’s all about the playlist. Been Caught Stealing – Jane’s Addiction I remember reading about Jane’s Addiction in 1989 ...
