Quicksilver did a better version of this.

Just before the set, KBCO played BNL's "One Week," first time I'd heard that in a few years.  Still crack up at a few of those lines.  OTOH, was there ever a least likely candidate for "rock star busted with coke" than Stephen Page?

Did you not hear Ginger's intro, or are you patently disagreeing with it?

Just wondering if you were reacting to Ginger's mention of him buying the Bo Diddley GH album in 1966 (when he was a 16-yr old baseball star who later got into the minors*) based on a comment he heard Mick Jagger make about Diddley's influence on the stones.

interesting comparison.  While Ocasek had no less than 3 songs that peaked at #41 on the Hot 100, Lonesome George never charted anywhere other than Mainstream Rock Tracks, where he had a #2, #3, #4, and a #5 hit.

I defy anyone to name his highest charting hit, which came in 1993.

I wanna say it was a re-released "Bad to the Bone" which got serious (over-)exposure back then in movies and commercials. If not "BTTB" then I've no clue.

Nice try, but it was some tune called "Get A Haircut", which apparently was an 'almost title track' to the below album.

Not that I had any idea of either the song or album before I looked it up this morning.

I have actually heard that once -- iirc, somebody (Ginger? Rob?) played it and it was  something of a "WTF?" moment. Or maybe I heard it on KCDX...

the album art looks like Peter Bagge's work (he did the comic "Hate", which I "love.")

I think he said something like "Bands today have to have a sense of humor to survive. Otherwise you sound like Journey." Then someone else chimes in, "That's not very nice," and he responds, "OK, Jefferson Starship then."
