Ditto.

This ain't no Mudd Club
Or CBGBs
I ain't got time for that now...


I remember being in the car with a friend of mine when we both heard this song for the first time -- we laughed out loud at that line.

Mudd Club?  Not familiar.  I always assumed DB was just singing "night club."  What was the Mudd Club's schtick?

it was another hot-at-the-time punkish venue. Forget exactly where it was downtown. A very knowing 1979 Noo Yawk reference, in other words.

Y'all need to hear Dusty Springfield's cover of "Spooky" someday.  Makes the ARS look like amateur hour, and this is a good if over-direct cover.

Mike, if you're in SF but in a NY state of mind, and I'm in NY but identifying with Grace Slick, how long before we stage our own little Gift of the Magi and exchange places?

Maybe we should both move to St Louis and split the diff.

wow, Cheap Trick and it's not "I Want You to Want Me". points for that, but I still prefer the studio version of "Surrender".

Dusty can sing the phone book and I'd swoon.

The minute Gaz moves back to SF... the A's will trade Zito to the Mets.

Never heard this "Damned If I Do" -- this isn't Alan Parsons Project, is it?  Got those bombastic Asia keyboards, but I can't place the vox.

When not trying to be Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty could sometimes be seen trying to be Bruce Springsteen.

She neutralizes it, IIRC.  I'll confirm after the set.

actually I can think of somehting else it might mean, especially after "Damned If I Do",...could be Bob's subtle commentary on the Tom Cruise engagement news.

Cruise is one seriously disturbed 'toon. Er, guy.

I used to take gay rumors with a large grain of salt, but he's so transparent at this point. And it isn't even about him so much as about Scientology (which among its many claims is that it can "cure" homosex). THAT'S why he sues people for hinting he might be less than 100% straight -- it's about his "church". He hopes to take over the "church" someday; it's about power and having (literally) more money than God.

No, it is indeed "spooky little boy."  I stand corrected.  Er, sit.  Weirdly, though, she changes the verses so that they're about her ("my eye will be a winkin'," etc.) and yet he's the "spooky" one.  She also exchanges the Hallowe'en proposal with the throwaway line, "but now I see / you're not what you seem."

Ha! she thinks he's "spooky" 'cause he's not responding to all her winkin' blinkin' and noddin'... maybe she's winking at Tom Cruise...

(Now THAT would be spooky.)
