I believe it was after hearing her debut album... or maybe it was The Story, I forget... Elton sought Brandi Carlile out, brought her to his house, mentored her, and is a huge fan of hers.

I also only just learned this: An article about the Feelies in the July 16, 2013 Paris Review quotes Demme as saying "there's never been any greater American band" than them. The article reports that what Demme wanted to make was a movie about the Feelies, but they were so little known that no one would finance it. Instead, he made "Stop Making Sense."

Two nights ago I saw the Feelies in DC. They still play occasionally, and Saturday (lapping over into Sunday) put on a 3 hour, 36 song, 5 encore show. From north Jersey, they were fellow CBGB scene skittish and jittery nerd rockers with the Talking Heads. What I didn't know is that Jonathan Demme did a Feelies music video. It's great.

I'm not a big fan of the albums that bracket it -- Steel Wheels and Bridges to Babylon -- but Voodoo Lounge, yes. I'd be down for a 30th anniversary deluxe remaster with outtakes from that. (Or, if it's ABB, I'd buy that too.)

Little Richard: I Am Everything is a available on bluray and dvd. I bought the bluray a month or so ago. It's very good, and so is the PBS docu King and Queen of Rock and Roll. There's a good amount of overlap between them. They share some of the interview bits of the Stones -- different edits of the same video sources.

Like some others here, I'm a big Samantha Fish fan and think she'd be an ideal opening act for the Stones. I told her that two or three years ago (she's such a trouper, she'll sign your stuff and chat after every show).

A cover of an Elvis classic by an 18 yo who when 3 yrs old was abandoned by her abusive mother in a town north of Vladivostok, in winter. In an orphanage for two years she spoke very little, and that was with a bad speech impediment. Learning to sing was how she re-learned to speak. This is an Elvis cover quite out of the ordinary.

"Goodbye, Jimmy Reed" is the consensus most fun song on Bob Dylan's 2020 Rough & Rowdy Ways, in that it rocks & rolls the most.
