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

"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.

"The Last Letter" written by Rex Griffin. Unfortunately, many artists
who cover it don't sing the verse where it's suddenly obvious it's a
suicide note. I like Asleep at the Wheel's recording the best (pretty
sure it was Chris O'Connell singing), but I can't find it anywhere.

Running Bear (Johnny Preston) was pretty grim, unless you like ritual
drownings.

But I always thought The Three Bells (the Browns) was the saddest of
all, more so even than Honey. And it made it to number one!

From Wikipedia:

"The Three Bells", also known as "Jimmy Brown" or "Little Jimmy Brown",
is a song made popular by The Browns in 1959.[1] The single reached
number one on the U.S. country and pop charts,[2]. outperforming a
competing version by Dick Flood. The version by The Browns also hit
number ten on the Hot R&B Sides chart.[3]. It was based on the 1945
French language song "Les trois cloches" by Jean Villard Gilles and Marc
Herrand. The English lyrics were written by Bert Reisfeld and first
recorded by Melody Maids in 1948. The song was a major 1952-53 hit by
Edith Piaf and Les Compagnons de la chanson. The song documents three
stages of the life of "Jimmy Brown"--his birth, his marriage, and his death.

Lyric:

There's a village hidden deep in the valley among the pine trees half
forlorn
And there on a sunny morning little Jimmy Brown was born
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the songs that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation bless this hour of meditation guide him with
eternal love
There's a village hidden deep in the valley beneath the mountains high above
And there twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet his love
All the chapel bells were ringing twas a great day in his life
For the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation bless oh Lord this celebration
May their lives be filled with love
From the village hidden deep in the valley one rainy morning dark and grey
A soul which wait in the heaven Jimmy Brown had passed away
Just the lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
Twas there well it was singing to our good old Jommy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation may his soul find this salvation of Thy
great eternal love

Mr. Reznor did indeed write it. Cash's version was so powerful that he
vowed never to perform "Hurt" in public again. What makes it hard to
watch and compelling is that you get the impression that Cash is not
just singing a song and that the loss of hope and disillusionment and
depression is real. In the end, there's no uplifting final verse, no ray
of hope, no redemption, no salvation. It's a heck of a song. Hopefully,
we won't be hearing many songs of that nature again.

It's from like 20 years ago, when he must have been in 20s?... What is
Reznor doing now. Sitting in a psych ward, waiting to be checked in. Or,
sitting in a corner of his million dollar condo, with a gun in his mouth?

None of the above. Most likely doing film/video game music scores as
well as producing music for NIN and other bands. He's probably doing
other projects simultaneously. He won at the Academy Awards last year
for his OFS of "The Social Network." It was surprising to see him go up
on stage in a tux when he collected his Oscar. I saw him in a doc about
the (happy thanksgiving Canada!) band Rush yesterday.
