Great list, but I didn't see the live "We Didn't Start the Fire" from the
Grammy compilation CD a few years back (unless I missed it on your list --
sorry).

[BJoelRocks]

yeah i have abilly at the grammys singing live from we didnt start the
fire. i think its on the grammys greaest hits vol. 2

Well, as a long time Billy fan, I hate to admit this but I've been sitting on a
"rarity" for awhile. Todd has it, I know, but I never heard of it till I
played it last night. It is the live 1974 recorded for radio stint at The
Layfett Club in Memphis. It is awesome sound and contains a song I never
heard called "The Cowboy Song." It is totally hilarious! It was Billy's
"version" of what he interpreted to be a "country music" song .... long before
he began duets with Garthie. Actually, when I listen to the words, it reminds
me of that (was it Merle Haggard???) Okie From Fenokee or whatever that song
was in the 70s. It is sooooooooo funny!

could that be the same song sting later did, called cowboy song?

>could that be the same song sting later did, called cowboy song?

I don't know if Sting did it,,,, I kinda doubt it but I have no idea. This, as
Jason said, sounds more like Johnny Cash and is funny. I posted the lyrics.
