Ronnie Spector passed away, she was 78. She did something with Eddy Money years ago. Another legend goes to the light. R.I.P. Miss Spector.

She joins Eddie Money up there.

Some of the lyrics in the chorus were based on the Ronettes hit song.

I'm not sure if anyone knows this....except maybe John, but The girl singing with him on the first album, was also one of the characters on the show "Night Court", Her name is Ellen Foley. She also was on a Blue Oyster Cult album. Also, most of the guitar work, was done by Todd Rundgren, including the revving motorcycle sounds.
The more I know. She was allegedly the inspiration for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Should_I_Stay_or_Should_I_Go

It wasn't about anybody specific and it wasn't pre-empting my leaving The Clash. It was just a good rockin' song, our attempt at writing a classic ... When we were just playing, that was the kind of thing we used to like to play. – Mick Jones, 1991
I think they succeeded. Not in the top 25 of rock & roll history, but it really is, "just a good rockin' song". And I thank you for the link, I like having little bits of relatively useless information on hand, incase a random game of Trivial Pursuit breaks out. My wife and I were at her best friends house one night, and we were playing the game, and it was a nail biter, or at least as much as that game can be. The final question, her husband, and myself lost, because my wife liked watching Sponge Bob Square Pants, and the winning question was, "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?". The second he started reading the card, I felt the wash of loss pouring over me. The worst part was, I dropped the ball on the question, "What band was Joan Jett in before her solo career?" I wanted to say the runaways, but I just wasn't 100%, so I flip flopped, and didn't get credit for it, and of course as we all know, it was the band she was in. I lost to an adult woman of 50, that watched fucking Sponge Bob. As a result, I love to absorb little bits of otherwise useless info. Plus it's fun to force my wife to listen to it,:D

The Doctor has died.
Howard Hesseman, the man who played Dr. Johnny Fever has passed on, at 81 years of age, from complications from colon surgery.
I loved that show, and his character was a trip. The first episode when her ripped the classical record of the turn table, and came up with his new character, was only exceeded by the episode with him appearing asleep and his boss came in on him playing Dogs, by Pink Floyd.

I've never heard of this man before, but I sure as hell have heard of Patsy, one of only 5 country music singer/musicians I like. Obviously I know Bob Dylan...in small doses....but still, he's accomplished, and lived a full life, and died peacefully in his sleep. R.I.P. sir, I'm sure Mr. Cash, and Ms. Cline are ready to jam again.

I love King Crimson. Gregg Lake hated sitting down and playing, he said "we look like a bunch of mushrooms" on stage. I forgot where I read that, but he was there in the beginning too, if I'm not mistaken. I'm sorry I never took the opportunity to see them live, in any of their incarnations. I think Bill Bruford is an amazing drummer, and Adrian Belew, and amazing guitar player. He also played with Frank Zappa too, that says a lot in my opinion. Tony Levin is a pretty inventive bass player as well, although none of the 3 people I mentioned were founding members.

This is the only version of the King Crimson popular song that their publishing company can't take down (because it's in the public domain. The concert at Hyde Park, London.)


Greg Lake singing. Ian McDonald is playing tenor saxophone.
