Man, I can't stop listening to this mix.

I have to say, everytime I hear the Marky Mark track I get a little embarrassed. I'm not sure if I'm embarrassed for me (I *adored* this song as a teen and I kinda still do) or for Mark Wahlberg, who clearly has springboarded from this to a credible career.

He was like *this* close to becoming another tragic Vanilla Ice character.

What a weird slag against Mike Nesmith. Not only the only talented Monkee, but also the man behind “Different Drum”. But yeah, he’s old enough to be her grandpa or something.

In Winona’s defense, I think she dated Mike Nesmith JUNIOR not Senior. Don’t ask me how I know this. I just remember it through the mists of time.

this is such a keen idea!!!

bravo!

also, i find it quite unfair that list of hers, though i'd once heard her described as a rite of passage to all young musicians.

Actually, “Rollerskate Skinny” would have been an even better choice for the Old 97′s/Rhett Miller since it was about her. Fun mix!

She dated Everlast, and Kid Rock? Ugh.

Dating Ryan Adams and Rhett Miller is kind of weird because the two of them had a long lasting feud.

Dating Adam Duritz and Ryan Adams is kinda weird because those two guys are good friends.

Michael Nesmith can't sing? In the 70's, he was a Country Rock pioneer. His song "Some of Shelley's Blues" is absolutely fantastic. That said, it is a little creepy for him to be dating her.

Matthew Sweet doesn't belong in the mix, because even though the song is about her, he didn't know her...quote from an article:
"Another song on Girlfriend with a link to loneliness and movie actresses is "Winona," with its plaintive chorus, "Won't you be my little movie star." "Actually, Lloyd Cole suggested I call it that," Sweet explained. "I didn't have a title for a long time and he knew that I liked the movie Heathers. He thought that we should call it `Winona' because I wanted a kind of a country title and at the time she was still a lot more obscure. First of all it didn't occur to me that there would be a lot of people giving attention to anything I did. And second of all it didn't occur to me that people would think that it was about her. Then by the time the record came out she had actually heard the song through a guy at Rolling Stone and supposedly liked it so I thanked my friend for sending it to her because at the time I didn't think the record was even going to come out. It was a really dark period and I thought, `Well at least Winona Ryder heard my record.' ""
