Songs dedicated to Artist by Artists

I guess it is the ultimate sign of recognition for an artist when a fellow artist makes a song about you. Dylan got two of such dedications. One from Syd Barret, one from David Bowie! This is a quite interesting topic, and here are the songs that I know which are dedicated to an artist. Let me know if you know others too! Song to Woody - From Bob Dylan to Woody Guthrie R.A.M.O.N.E.S - From Mötorhead to Ramones Song For Bob Dylan - From David Bowie to Dylan Bob Dylan Blues - From Syd Barret to Bob Dylan Buddy Holly - From Weezer to Buddy Holly Song to Bobby - From Cat Power to Bob Dylan (Thanks to Thuan for this one)

Feeling Naive Today

Even though they have a hard image, associated with -perhaps self-imposed- homelessness, punk for me represents musical purity, amateur idealism, and naiveness. Especially the music of Ramones. Sometimes I wish the relation between men and women were as naive as their song "Girl I wanna Be Your Boyfriend": " Hey, little girl I wanna be your boyfriend Sweet little girl I wanna be your boyfriend Do you love me babe? What do you say? Do you love me babe? What can I say? Because I wanna be your boyfriend "

Training Day 11

Best training so far. I did 40 minutes on the cross trainer (it's sad that Cross Trainer is almost never free when I go), worked out my abs, shoulders, chest. I had more energy so I added my back to the exercise. Definitely it's gotta do with my excitement for the Skiing trip in 4 days. I will ski from the minute when the pistes open till sun goes down. I listened to Ramones almost exclusively. My favorite, Teenage Lobotomy. Somehow fits me perfectly: Slugs and snails are after me DDT keeps me happy Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em That I got no cerebellum. Gonna get my ph.d. I'm a teenage lobotomy.
