| Sorry, all these posts saying "I've never bought one of his records, but GEEZE, he has talent churns out sheer brutally honest brilliance like clockwork, for decades and he's a really nice guy" To all of you, check your pulse , cuz you might be dead. I remember the exact moment I heard "I Need To Know" in my car, I remember the exact location, a big wooded curve, I cranked it up to max and I was driving so fast I thought my Camero could take flight, I drove strait to the record store and bought "Damn the Torpedos". It was equally as mentally pivtol watching The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. It's like being hit with a musical meteor, nothing has been the same since, and I did meet him once, and he is an outstanding individual, a salt of the earth, nice guy. The weird thing, is I ended up in a band, in London years later, with 2 Guys from the Fabulous Poodles, his opening act for that tour,who were all in the same room that night in Austin, Texas. I just had to respond to all the "I never knew" comments, you guys, need to further explore the whole catalog, cuz, it just gets better every time you hear it. |
