She did it with Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away,” too. It gives us a chance to see Stevie let ’er rip. She’s already much too old to do a convincing “What Are You Doing in My Life?” or “Even the Losers,” but she should have covered at least half of Damn the Torpedoes in her earliest solo years.

Actually a circa ‘81-‘83 cover of Refugee would probably be really incredible. By ‘86 it would have devolved into a wailing circus!
