@hexcane Exactly right my friend. Why degrade yourself? The greatest truth we find is that we simply don't have to do the shit we're expected to do by people who wouldn't do it themselves
The closest us Brits got to that kind of life affirming, there's a future out there away from this shitty town vibe that Springsteen did so well in the US. This is our Born To Run lads
My Dad Listens To Music Like This And Stuff Like Ride. Even Though I'm 13 I Really Like The Songs. It Makes A Change From All The Same Crap You Hear Now! ;D
this comes out in The Invention Of Lieing. I heard this songs for the first time like 2 weeks b4 i saw the movie and was like OMG! THAT'S EDDIE & THE HOT RODS!
The face on the cover is of course Aleister Crowley, the Beast 666, etc, whose motto was "Do what thou wilt." Do anything you want to do is take-off of that saying, hence the Micky mouse ears. Crowley would be flattered...then he'd curse them and their blood would turn to battery acid. Maybe... 77 Layla
Caroline via shortwave, I never believed anybody ever listened to Caroline that way, buit you did! Grerat to know. How was the quality of the transmission? And how did you discover Caroline in the first place? I always listened mediumwave, living here in Holland close to the coastline. greetz!

A brilliant track, telling a good story.
Could not stop playing this a while back.
Check out the 2008 live version, sound is poor but good to see them now.
