    "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar"
    --Human League's 'Don't You Want Me'

    Thanks to lyrics that crack like silver-screen dialogue, the New Wave adaptation of 'A Star Is Born' is a classic in its own right.

    While Jimi Hendrix may have made the best known recording of "All Along the Watchtower" I will remind everyone that it was Bob Dylan that wrote and first recorded it.
