Here's my choice:
"Falling Down"
Robbie Robertson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MGXnMLESEA
Robbie was the frontman for "The Band" writing songs that were
sung and chorused by Richard Manuel, piano; Rick Danko, bass;
Levon Helms, drums and Robbie.

After the "Last Waltz" farewell concert in S.F. in 1976, they
disbanded, stopped touring and recording. Truly the last
waltz.

Richard Manuel, with his great voice, a year or so later,
tired of living off the road and alone committed suicide,
blowing his head off.

I was terrible shaken at the loss. I was angry that he
couldn't cope and took a coward's way out. I had followed them
for a long time. When an album came out I didn't need to hear
it first... I knew it'd be great. I saw them in concert many
times, played all their songs on my guitar.

This song and video expresses Robbie's sadness at losing his
friend and my music idol.

I don't know the American Indian relevance in the video. I'm
guessing he took refuge there during that time. He did record
two albums with Indian music and song.

[RIP] Richard Manuel

You might want to revise that part about him blowing his head off too.

But nothing could come close to Transformer. John Kuthe and I saw Lou
in the late '70s. He was having a bad night, and twice kicked a
monitor into the orchestra pit, and waited for the sound folks to put
them back on the stage, bitching about the sound. Still, the show was
great, but it was because Ian Dury and the Blockheads opened. They
were terrific. They were touring the album, New Boots and Panties,
one of the great oldschool punk albums, the one that featured Sex and
Drugs and Rock and Roll and Sweet Gene Vincent

Not my sort of movie. Have you ever heard Unknown Pleasures? Hey,
Somebody, email me so I have your addy, and I'll send you The Bonobos'
album in mp3.

lucky.

I've always wondered about when he spills the wine... what is your
interpretation?

I once got my nephew a JC CD. I told him: I didn't know what to get you,
so I gave you cash.

Didn't Trent Reznor write it?

"The meaning of "Hurt" is disputed; some listeners say the song acts like a
suicide note with notes on depression, while others may find it to describe
someone finding a reason to live.[1]"

Holy cripe, why have I never heard that before? It should long have
been the anti-war anthem. As I listened it reminded me vividly of the
Vietnam War. Very sad, angry, and disturbing.
