Anne Mathern, Highway Star

Posted by Jen Graves on Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 5:15 PM

I wish I had a video of Anne Mathern doing Deep Purple's Highway Star last night because it was sublime. But almost as sublime was her version, during Eric Fredericksen's karaoke lecture Speak and Sing at On the Boards, of Nirvana's In Bloom.

Other humans who amazed: Ross Lambert channelingbeing Mick Jagger; Sean Nelson's Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, Amy O'Neal and Sara Edwards transforming Total Eclipse of the Heart into something utterly butch, and many more. The lecture, yes, was smart and good. But I'm sure you don't want to hear about that. I'll just give you a snippet of Anne.

I second that, and will never hear Bon Jovi again without thinking of Jen.
