didn't somebody have a song called "Jerkin' Crocus"?  (and it wasn't Krokus, either).


Nope, not Krokus. It was Mott the Hoople, on All the Young Dudes.

Speaking of whom, Ian Hunter is on a double bill with the Zombies at the Fillmo', mid-March. No telling how he's aged, but I aim to find out.
Let's get right to it.

Wow, I used to see him on the Upper West Side in NYC occasionally in the early '80s -- and he looked old to me then!

I always thought it hilarious that he probably made more $$$ from Barry Manilow's cover of "Ships" than from his own LPs.
