I was 13 years old in late summer 1967, when I stood 10 feet from totally unknown Linda Ronstadt, as she lip-synched this during the taping of a cheesy little afternoon teen TV dance show called "The Groovy Show". Needless to say, I was smitten forever, and right then I "knew" she would be a huge star [I was right]. Other than Linda, there is nobody I would rather see sing this number than Susanna, thanks for posting it.

That's very cool ... I saw Linda in concert in Nov. 1976. I wasn't 10 feet, be not to far from the stage. Also, the only autograph I have ever gotten is that of Susanna Hoff, on the back of my shirt, had nothing else to write on.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love Susanna Hoffs. But what I love here is the fact that her work with Matthew Sweet is just for the sheer joy of doing good music. She's not looking for chart rankings or record sales. She's just enjoying herself. That's why she sounds so great. According to some, even better than in the 80s. I don't know why, but it makes me happy to see her perform just for the joy it brings her. FYI, she's a '59 Capricorn. We're awsome.

It's beautiful how Susanna no longer worries about those little sexy "slide glances" that she used in the 80s. She just gets inmersed in the song and just enjoys the moment and the interpretation of the music. She no longer is concerned with making something that "sells" but rather something of quality. And that little raspiness that comes out in her voice on some notes sounds so awsome, and sexy. It's something that she's developed as she's grown older. I've always wondered in that alternative universe, what would have happened if the Bangles hadn't broke up in 1989 and had continued a few more years instead of that 10 year hiatus.
