Today a sunny day quickly took a cold turn. I found myself without a proper jacket walking the streets of San Francisco in a group of new and old friends.
After parting ways, and hugging myself closely to generate warmth, I overheard Sonic Youth’s cover song of Superstar. Without fail, I started belting out the lyrics at the same time with a random girl next to me:
Don’t you remember you told me you loved me baby?
You said you’d be coming back this way again baby
This prompted some laughter between myself and the Sonic Youth-loving gal. I remarked that I went to the same high school as Karen Carpenter. She commented on how much she loved the cover album, If I Were A Carpenter.
She’s right. I forgot how great this album is, especially the song Superstar.
