What a perfect song, taking me back to late nights at Whisky, then riding the rollercoaster freeways home to the beach. But it never sounded this good TBH, so no loss.
Ah, X. So sublime. I remember absolutely HATING X the first time I heard it. I thought Exene and John harmonized like cats mating on a hot tin roof. But, once I got into the lyrics, and understood how completely appropriate their harmonizing and vocal style is... I was an X fan for life. And Billy Zoom... the guitarist who can make a guitar not scream, like so many others, but rather "complain"... an American original. This is one of my faves from the Wild Gift album.
Exene solo opened for Neil Young in concert (a long while back). I was only person in audience REALLY thrilled and surprised to see her. Exene wore hippie dress, but sang a few X songs. X songs don't really work unplugged!
@blinkystop ha, chili peppers? THEY BLOW, listen to Mike Patton and Mr Bungle, or these guys, this is apropos to Ellis' "Less Than Zero" and much newer "Imperial Bedrooms" -- Sometimes i feel like i don't have a partner, sometimes i feel i'm a f'ing junkie, lol
"White Girl" is my favorite X song - love Exene and John's harmonies and lyrics - "I'll replace your drunk old man, sit in the parking lot and hold your hand". Ahhh, romance.
