Did you know that the Scottish band Big Country did a cover of "Prairie Rose" because of the line in the song "Lonesome star shine on the big country"?

Haha, now that's a valid (and cute-ly egomaniacal) reason to cover a song. I haven't heard about the band - but covering RM is reason to start.

Stranded Siren,

I didn't write what you posted.

You did.

A belated welcome to the forum Stranded Siren.

Big Country were led by guitarist Stuart Adamson and formed out of his previous band The Skids (both groups are worth checking out). I saw Big Country several times and they were always superb live, great guitar sound, very energetic. The last time I saw them they were supporting Bowie on his Glass Spider tour (and they were worth the ticket money alone.).

Sadly, Stuart developed severe drink problemd and died a year or so ago. :cry:

He hanged himself in 2001....and none of the band were actually born in Scotland!

And all that (crap) bagpipe guitar sound too...good grief.

Mr. Riff, you may get a disgruntled response from Erland, I made the comment not him!!

Sorry for the typo regarding how long ago it was.

Back on track here but was "Trash" not about Jerry Hall. Seem to think that was the consensus at the time.

I don't know if Jerry still thinks about Bryan but I bet he never gives her a passing thought. Why would he when he has the lovely Amanda waiting for him at home?

Oh I know that I wrote that and not you - the system seems to be putting "Erland" whereever it suits it.
