‘April Skies’ (the Jesus and Mary Chain, cover) Hey a few words. My friends Tammy and Audrey mentioned that they dig my Velvet Underground tunes. Audrey said, yeah those are good, but I would like to hear you a song by the Jesus and Mary Chain. I almost bought the album Psychocandy when it came out. Seemed really distorted. But the group is down my alley. So, I lived this one to an extent. Presenting April Skies…. (lyrics) Hey honey what you […]

Rattled (live) I have heard that rock n’ roll was at least one part hillbillie. So..I would like to add, it could even be Psycho-Billie, therefore here is my tithe to the melting pot….
the Weight (live) (lyrics) I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin’ about half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head “Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?” He just grinned and shook my hand and, “No”, was all he said Take a load off Annie Take a load for free Take a load off Annie And you put the load right on me (You put the load right on me) […]

There She Goes Again, live. Hey! Speaking of the UnDead, here is a song written by Warhol’s Lead Vampire!
Good Day Sunshine! live. The problem here is that if the Light Hits Me, I DECOMPOSE! (and that sends my songwriting abilities backwards.)
Bennie and the Jets, live. So a few words about the song. When I was 5 or so years old, it would come over the AM radio. I vaguely remember seeing Elton John do the song in a wild outfit, like a bird with odd glasses, perfect for my child mind. Getting older, I am thinkin’ ‘BENNIES’ is Speed. So that is all well and good (kinda). Then the kicker is after 9/11 in the States, the genius government figured that the […]
Can’t Find My Way Home, live. All that I am going to say here, is that the first time that I heard the song I was in a Freezing Blizzard in Chicago in December 1988. I was chasing down a friend of mine named Dwight, as I tended to do back then. She was attending the Chicago Institute of the Arts. Being the puppy I was, I raided the tape collection, this is what I found.
