One has to wonder what might have become of Lone Justice had their development not been stunted by instant promotion to the bigs. But that's just wishful thinking. That Maria wouldn't have been discovered and peeled off from the rest of the group and exploited is pretty ludicrous when you think of it.

I am almost certain this was recorded at Joe's Pub in NYC, and that I was there for the show. I lost my copy of this album (ack!). I was looking for this because I listened to Bruce's version and, honestly, Maria's is better! Thanks for sharing!!!

This was at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. I was there that night and accidentally sat at her family's table (which allowed me to have nice conversation with her mother). On the album, she mentions her father walking around to get a drink while she's singing.

It's interesting..two Springsteen covers, this and Candy's Room...strong association with Little Steven and Jimmy Iovine early in her career...good friends with the U2 guys, like Bruce...Bruce grabs her old guitarist, Shane Fontayne, for his non-E Street Band.... a clear overall vibe from each that is similar in some ways, as this performance shows..BUT!!!, no evidence I've seen of them ever meeting or talking, though I'd be surprised if it never happened...a duet or collaboration of some kind along the road?...just disappointed it never happened

The life is Sweet album was noted by Musician Magazine to be the best rock album in a decade when it was released. The world just wasn't ready and Geffen never gave it a chance. Now out of print. I have to agree with Musician. Still one of the best rock albums.

you know David, I've long wished for a documentary like this but with the full LJ/MM experience from all sides, including Geffen/Iovine....looking back at things now would probably be interesting, if everybody could be honest...Geffen of course rarely speaks...there was an American Masters I believe about him on PBS last year and he was interviewed but LJ/MM didn't come up...I do remember him speaking about Laura Nyro, and how he couldn't really turn her into a major success and being disappointed about it, so he can self-reflect in that manner...would love to hear a detailed interview with Iovine too...I know HBO did a big doc on him and Dr. Dre last year, don't know if LJ/MM came up there...I have asked Little Steven online about his experience with MM early on...he answers questions from fans, but he wouldn't answer that one from me

Name an artist that's worked for Geffen that has good things to say about him. Ask Don Henley about Geffen. Ask Neil Young, lol....he's a leech! Iovine got lucky to be the producer of Tom Petty's 'Damn the Torpedoes'...that really made his bones in the industry....But with those songs, any producer would've looked good. Two bigger assholes you'd be hard to find. I love Maria, i wish things could've gone different for her early in her career.
