After watching the video a couple of things.

1. The singer is much much younger than I would have imagined.  I guess, since I was so young when I first heard this that everyone was much older than me and that impression has stuck.

2.  Something about the way he sings, seeing him, reminds me of Chris Rock. Weird.

3.  Rickenbacker Bass.  Rock!

OK, I listened to it.

I'd never heard it before and now I wish it had stayed that way.

I was 9.

I was T minus 7 and I know that song.

It doesn't hurt (or help, really) that the name of the song is the name of the subject of my most enduring and pathetic crush. Christ. I still wear a goddamn hat for this girl.

How can this not be a lie. Dude, you grew up on earth, I know you did.



(How is it that firefox has a two-key combination that shuts it completely down? I am not a good typist, fuckers)



When I think Christian Brothers, I think this, and then I get depression. There's also this. Josh Homme seems like the kind of guy who only covered that so he could say "fuck" a lot.

How didn't I give you the chance to hear this solid performance last week?



I'll leave as an exercise for the listener the task of finding Nikki Sixx's cover of Alone Again, Naturally.

We've had quite a bit of discussion about that song around the ol' water cooler today. I did not realize that Sarah Vaughan covered it. That song is like the worst song ever.

I knew it wouldn't - just pokin' the toad. For some reason I always want that song to be by Boz Scaggs.
