Yes. What an awful song "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone" is, at
least the idea behind the lyrics. The singing is pretty good.
A couple of years ago I saw Jewel, she opened for Bob Dylan in
Dylan's tour after the one where Patti opened for him. Of
course nobody could have stood up well to that comparison, but still
I thought Jewel was really awful and talentless and going nowhere,
and Bob must have chosen her as a tourmate just for her looks.
Shows how much I know about the music biz. :-(
