DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THIS SONG WAS IN LEON RUSSEL'S "SHELTER POEPLE" ALBUM (THE ONE THAT HAD "ALCATRAZ" AND "STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND"), AS A LITTLE FLOPPY PROMO RECORD? OR WAS IT JUS THE ACID?
Many years back, I was in Manny's (music store)in NYC and my buddy said nodding in a certain direction: "look...who's that?..." I looked up, there was this kind of short dude standing there checking out a blond Les Paul. It was Beck!
Never wanting to be a 'groupie' and thinking I'd never be 'star-struck', I was left stuttering.
Always a huge Beck fan, I'd seen him a couple of times live. Great stuff, but nothing like being two feet from him as just another pedestrian like us. Only in NYC!
LOL! Yeah, I DO remember Disc-O-Mat...I had Rough & Ready on 8-track, but, if memory serves, I bought it at Corvettes. Yep-those WERE the days, dude...CBGB's, Max's, the Ritz, etc., etc
Holy Shit! I used to work right across the street (on 5th and 13th.) About six year's salary was spent in that place. And many fond memories of the hottest waitresses in NYC.
James Brown, Robert Gordon, Dr. John, Roger McGuinn, and every time the Stones were in town, they'd shut the place to the general public so Mick and Keef and company could hang. I was banging a waitress who'd let me know when, then let me in the side door.
It's disgraceful what's happened to the joint now, tho'.
Jeff and his sidemen have gone through so many incantations and yet the music kicks butt now as it did then... great/everything on this one Bass/ Drums/ Vocals/Keyboard and Guitar of course.. When our band would finish practice we would end with this for fun, kicks and giggles we would say today...Thanks
The best rockin' rock n roll song EVER! This is ROAD music...turn it all the way up and if you can keep still, theres something wrong with you!
