500 Songs for Kids--list revealed!

Last year, Smith's Olde Bar hosted 500 Songs for Kids' first incarnation, which consisted of local and national acts performing a countdown of Rolling Stone's 500 songs of all time. I made it to one night of that event and was blown away by what I saw.

This year, the plan is to count down the 500 best sing-a-long songs of all time, and the list of those that will be performed was released by Creative Loafing while I was away. Perusing the list, I wish I would be here for the last 2 nights, but sadly I will be back in New Orleans losing yet more money in a valiant effort to win a poker tournament. I'll probably try to make it to a few of these during the next week, since 50 songs are performed every night between May 1 and May 10. You should too.

Some people will quibble with #2 on the list, but I think it absolutely deserves a spot in the top 10. Motorin'!
