 | Right. The time has come for a reckoning. One of the discussions on the Underground has involved the nomination of 5 songs to obliterate from history. The point being that one of the nominees was the fucking atrocious Dirty Dancing anthem "(I've had) the Time of my Life".
But is this an attempt to spare the blushes of Jennifer Warnes, or merely to pinpoint the worst of her excesses?
After all, this woman used to be one of Uncle Leonard's Cohenettes, and you don't get cooler than that. However, perhaps her no. 1 worldwide hit has turned the head of this previously dependable and talented session vocalist. Was her Leonard Cohen tribute album a salute to her spiritual mentor, an insane flight of hubristic vainglory, or, as at least one fucking lunatic has argued, superior in essence to the original versions?
Tell me. Because I don't think many people have expressed an opinion about Jennifer Warnes this century.
