I've got a date with Marshall Crenshaw Wednesday at City Winery and couldn't be more excited. I've heard the Detroit native has become bitter in his old age, but if I had written songs as brilliant as this one -- jangle pop meets '50s rocker -- and my career had gone nowhere, I'd probably be pissed too. As they say, all the more for me.
Cresnshaw is fantastic. "Mary Jean" is one of my all time favourite songs.
