I Love Ian Hunter... I decided when i first heard once bittne twice shy that I would name my first son Ian... I did... Ian Kevorkian is now 29 years old..rock on Ian Hunter

Reminds me of my younger brother - he loved this record and sang it full hearted. Got it on the live abum and play it from time but when ever I do I always have to stand up and sing loudly "did you have to run, do you have to hide". I haven't seen my brothr for nearly 25 years. Nick if you are reading this please get in touch.

[Pmiller300]

I was 10 when I met Mott the Hoople In Denver. They signed my homework. " Ah, mathematics" Ian said. Now Iam 51 and I still love them!

i was always fascinated by the words.... 'the secrets in the bicycle shed' what a brilliant forever song..

A monster track that shows Hunter at his very best. This is what he's all about and why I've watched him for 40 years.

Have searched for this track and could never find it. This has to be the best track on the album - absolutely wonderful lyrics - Thanks for Sharing.

I'd have to go with "The Truth, The Whole Truth, Nothin' But the Truth" as the best track on the album.
