Ken Barnes’s article on the singles of 1986 (April ’87 issue) excludes four important B-sides: two by Elvis Costello, “Brand New Hairdo” (an energetic song cut off of King Of America) and “Get (Find) Yourself Another Fool” (fabulous rendition by E. C. of old ballad, with great organ by Steve Nieve); and two by John Fogerty, “I Confess” (with Bobby King) and “My Toot Toot” (with Rockin’ Sidney).

THE NEVER-ENDING STORY
Ken Barnes’s article on the singles of 1986 (April ’87 issue) excludes four important B-sides: two by Elvis Costello, “Brand New Hairdo” (an energetic song cut off of King Of America) and “Get (Find) Yourself Another Fool” (fabulous rendition by E. C. of old ballad, with great organ by Steve Nieve); and two by John Fogerty, “I Confess” (with Bobby King) and “My Toot Toot” (with Rockin’ Sidney). None of these songs is on any album; the two by Fogerty are much better than anything on his latest album.
An A-side that deserves to be mentioned is “For America” by Jackson Browne, a song with terrific lyrics.
Barnes’s 10 Best Albums list last fall wasn’t very good either; but I stjll think he’s one of the best (and most underrated) rock critics.
