You know, the guy gets a lot of guff for going the standards route, but hasn't he always been big on interpretation? Was listening to some of his early solo stuff, and there are plenty of duff or overblown covers - of contemporaries, of traditional songs - that seem like something 2011 Rod would be laughed at for.

Not suprised Young Turks won. Suprised by the margin (and the total number of votes!).

and "Tonight I'm Yours" is not exactly one of his most played minor hits either.

thirteen years pass...

"Young Turks" for the lyrics alone, and the verse and chorus are impeccable.
