I'll be shocked if Sting and Huey don't make appearances.

The song itself is fine. But it always evokes the image of him as the Mad Hatter -- the epitome (to me) of overblown visuals-for-visuals-sake Mid-'80s MTV.

Now here's a BOS I can get behind, "Secondhand Love".

BOS3 Fogerty.

First time I heard this it was Dec '84 and I was waking up in a hotel room in Charleston, WV. I figured it was a CCR song I'd never heard, and thought "damn, it's true -- West Virginia really IS in a time warp."

I love his guitar work on this, but his vocals leave a little to be desired.

in what way? his diction? LOL!

Seriously, he doesn't sound any different to me on this than on any CCR songs.
