For Friday’s Radio Free Lunch we’ll play songs from the hardest working moms in rock. Some of my favorites are Gwen Stefani, Chrissie Hynde and Tori Amos. Happy Mother’s Day!
Update: Today’s Playlist
Kid, The Pretenders (Chrissie Hynde)
A Change Would Do You Good, Sheryl Crow
Because The Night, Patti Smith
Spiderwebs, No Doubt (Gwen Stefani)
I’m The Only One, Melissa Etheridge
Supernova, Liz Phair
McDonald’s Daily Cheese
Ooops, I Did It Again, Britney Spears
Cornflake Girl, Tori Amos
Gone, Gone, Gone, Allison Krauss/Robert Plant
Sweet Surrender, Sarah McLachlan.jpg)
yep…. I got nothing for this one… sorry =p
Arg! I missed RFL yesterday! I was so looking forward to it with my love of Star Trek. Darn meetings…
Other than Sarah MacLachlan and Gwen Stefani, I’m drawing a blank.
MADONNA!
Sheryl Crow does a really great cover of an old James Taylor song- “You Can Close Your Eyes.” How ’bout that?
You could play some DMB in honor of Dave’s wife. She’s not the singer, but undoubtedly has her hands full with Dave’s touring schedule and their twins…
And, for the Daily Cheese, there’s always Britney Spears…
Ooooohhhh…I love this topic being a new Mom myself…
How about Annie Lennox? Bjork too!
Happy Mothers’ Day!
Melissa Etheridge comes to mind too…
This is a stretch, but how about Lacey Mosley, lead singer of Flyleaf? I don’t think she’s a mom, but HER mother was a single mom of six . That deserves some kudos…or maybe I just want to hear “I’m So Sick” in a bad way…:)
How about Fountain of Wayne’s “Stacey’s Mom”? for all the MILFs out there?
Well, I had to go there:
Linda Thompson (with ex-Richard): Shoot Out The Lights. Their son Teddy is a pretty fine rocker in his own right.
Happy Momz day,
Larry
How about a song for Bono’s wife? I think they have at least 4 kids…and Sweetest Thing may have been written for her?
Happy Mother’s Day Mara!!! Hope you get some breakfast in bed and a nice relaxing day.
So how about Tina Turner (River Deep, Mountain High), Annie Lenox (Little Bird) or Gwen Stefani (I’m Just a Girl).
And for the CHEESE, you should totally do Spice Girls (Wannabe), like totally. Aren’t they ALL mothers now!! Rock on Mara, and btw even though it’s a chick show, I do like the recipes from Cook Yourself Thin.
Sinead O’Connor
Courtney Love
oh, and My Mom.
Hi Mara,
How about something by Nelly Furtado, “say it right” or “i’m like a bird” would be great.
My wife says Patti Smith, Annie Wilson (Heart), Pat Benatar, Liz Phair, Sherl Crow.
Rock on Moms.
I vote Mara Davis the #1 Mom Who Rocks Atlanta every day with her awesome show……
Rock On!
Hello. Great job, if I wasn’t so busy with my school work I read your entire site. Thanks!
