MC
Marshall Crenshaw turns 65 today, but I don't think he's retired. He's had a decent career, but never really gotten the success he deserved as one of the best songwriters and performers around.

Saw him at the Ark a few years ago. Birthday present from my 'cynical girl' as it was my birthday. But did I feel old when I saw the audience. Several people had walkers. He did a nice set. I picked up a new favorite (of many): Television Light.
Amazed at how infrequently he has been covered. I know Ronnie Spector did some MC songs. (did he produce?) But there are very few of his songs that are done by others.
