A co-worker recently gave me a copy of Stuff Magazine. I’d never heard of Stuff and he explained “it’s sort of like Playboy but everyone keeps their clothes on.” He thought I’d be interested in this issue (March, I think) because Sheryl Crow as on the cover and there was a nice group of photos on the inside.
Like me, Crow grew up in Kennett, Missouri, a small town in southeast Missouri. Aside from the Kennett connection, Crow looked extremely hot in the Stuff layout. She just turned 40 and decided it might be fun to do some cheese cake.
People from Kennett are understandably proud of Sheryl Crow. She is, without a doubt, the most famous person to call our little town home. I should point out that I do not know Sheryl Crow. I’m 14 years older and our paths never crossed.
Ahh, fond memories. The song was very much a promotional gimmick (note the sponsors). Not familiar with any country/ballad versions. Thanks for visiting smays.com
Hey, Steve…You may not remember, but I was just a kid too, when I would ride my bike to Jones Park and you’d be shooting basketball all by yourself…unless you count the “knobby knees” as 3! LOL. We would shoot around and then play some 2 on 2 when a couple of other guys came up. Then, as I got older, I would listen to your radio show and call in a few times. Also, sounds like that song was more of an ad-song for KBOA! But wasn’t there a type of country ballad song called “Kennett My Hometown” that was on sale at Jay’s Music in the early 70’s? It sat right beside that famous song “Convention 1972!”
