Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Sheryl Crow isn't the worst female singer songwriter, that would be Sarah Maclachlan, but she is wa, way up there. The first time i saw her was before her first hit, opening for Dylan in 1993 and I didn't like her them and moment for moment, song for song, I haven't liked her since. One particularly terrible night, she stank up an Eric Clapton benefit concert for 45 minutes.
Here comes news that she is writing the music for barry Levnson's book of his movie "Diner" and not for nothing but that sounds so unappealing it might be a new form of water torture.
The movie was pretty good, a buncha guys in Baltimore going nowhere. Levinson told New York Times this: " ‘Diner’ was a pivotal moment in my career, and since then I have continued to live with the characters, realizing there is much more to their story. I’m excited to be embarking on this stage version, which affords me the opportunity as a storyteller to expand on my original vision and let the characters express their innermost feeling and thoughts through song.”
Wow, really? I dunno about that but I know for sure Crow is not the one for it. She has written one and a half good songs, the one is "If It Makes You Happy". I gotta feeling it won't make you happy.
