That was the Blues Brothers doing Gimme Some Lovin'.

Joe Walsh jumps on board the Urban Cowboy fad with a semi-catchy little two-step. Just a pinch between your cheek and gum...

Proxy of GazWOS, he and I agree it's one of the more unnecessary cover versions evah.

True enough, despite the fabulousness of the movie of the same name.

Larry says Touch and Go was from the "forgotten Cars album." Larry, there's a reason it was forgotten! And now he's gone and reminded us....arrrrggghhh.

[Tinka Cat]

Larry sounds defensive when he says he likes the Cars' Touch N Go.

I like it, too!

I had to look it up to find out what it was: "Panorama".  Didn't even ring a bell.  This is the only song on it whose name I recognized.

He's probably seen the comments on The Sound's message board about the Cars!

Now THIS is more like it--ATBB to the mighty X, and their paean to their hometown:  BOS Los Angeles.

Just saw this band a week and a half ago. They can still bring it.

This was the only single that charted (peaked at #37, so it barely made the Top 40), yet the album went platinum in a mere four months. Amazing. Different times.
