Enough with the "Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt"!

I see that somebody named Lily Holbrook has just released an album called "Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt" today.

What an original idea to take an album title from Kurt Vonnegut's Billy Pilgrim! Too bad it already got taken by Andrew Coleman, Unearth, Tompaulin, Breakfast with Amy, Nepenthe, Jerry Joseph AND Lifter. Plus songs by Mewithoutyou, Anasarca and Of Fire.

Enough already!

And Nick Lowe already has "So It Goes" sewn up. Maybe catchphrases should be searched for elsewhere- Mother Night? Player Piano? Slapstick?

When I first read the Vonnegut book years ago, I thought, "That would be a cool album title."

They should have gone with something more original like a Bukowski refernce.

This one from God Bless You Mr. Rosewater is relatively little-used:

"You will last a lot longer, if you don't try to sing."

Good one. I think she should have called her record I Kill You Filthy instead.

Hey, don't forget softrockers Ambrosia ("How Much I Feel") recorded "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" back in the '70s!
