Cher? Farewell? Can it be true? No — it's too horrible to be true. But hopefully this is just the first of many farewell tours for Cher, the indestructible pop dowager with the consonants-only vocal style and the timeless fashion chutzpah. On Farewell, she reprises "If I Could Turn Back Time" and "Believe," though, unfortunately, she snubs "We All Sleep Alone," the proudest moment of her all-too-brief Bon Jovi period. She opens with her version of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," and wow — Bono is probably still hiding under the couch. From the devotional cheers of the crowd to the purple top hat she wears on the cover, Farewell Tour is so Cher it hurts. Damn it, Cher — we miss you already.

“All Along the Watchtower”

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
