Was cleaning up my iTunes library last night when I first realized that this beautiful song by Rosanne Cash -- whom I consider to be one of the best singer/songwriters of our generation -- is actually penned by Yoko Ono. (It's from a 1984 Yoko tribute album.) I'll admit to only knowing Mrs. Lennon as a musical punchline -- and her rather unpleasant "Don't Worry" song the B-52s covered without her permission, only to have it removed from future pressings of "Whammy" -- but if she can actually write songs like this one, the woman may be the most underrated artist I've come across in a while.
