I've never heard this Lou Reed song before (I assume it's Lou).

it's Mink DeVille, but yeah, it's basically Lou Reed-Meets-Springsteen

ETA: I see I had that wrong too.  I don't know nuthin' 'bout Mink Deville.

An easy mistake to make--Willy was heavily influenced by Lou, particularly in his vocals.

wow -- 8 songs in and this is the closest we've come to an overplayed nugget. CBB blows my 10-way-tie, not that there's any shame in that.

And now Iggy doing his own Lou interpretation.  Good stuff, except that part about the city's ripped backside.  Ouch!

my only complaint about the "new" AL 10@10 is that her clips are as too-short as Dave's were occasionally too-meandering.



VHM Edwyn Collins Iggy.

One more BOS for Mr. Osterberg, who was much debated here last week. Iirc, Bowie produced this album and played keyboards on the tour that followed.

This is the song Carnival Cruises shoulda used, don'cha think?

speaking of Bowie -- another ATBB. BOS8 (!) "Beauty & the Beast".

shortest 1977 set on record, methinks -- it's barely 10:35!

So, has AL stopped doing a Bonus track, or is there a new intern?
