TOO SEXY FOR ITS FONT

December 12, 2005 by Tim Riley


AIN’T NO ONE FOR TO GIVE YOU NO PAIN



From the iTunes Celebrity Playlists, this acute remark from the perennially underrated Jeff Daniels:


“A great example of why Bonnie Raitt is one of the premiere blues guitarists. By the time she’s done playing this song, every guy in the audience is wishing he were her guitar.”



And you don’t need me to tell you, that’s Chris Smither song. Even works in a mention of Steve Goodman, cops to a healthy Freddie King complex, and nods towards Stills (with his mouth shut). And then he goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like “Bruce Hornsby.”
