In '79 I was in The Battle of the Bands and Jim Martin was in a competing band playing this song. He later was the guitarist for 'Faith No More'. Great job! *****
I can't remember, it might have been all originals. We placed second. The drummer for the band that won wasTroy Lucketta, who is now the drummer for 'Tesla'. Those were good times, man. I remember that Troy was the guy that told me Elvis Presley died. We were burning one at the time. I thought he was bull-shitting me - hah.
anyway, mick ronson should've been credited as co-author of the song... it started its life around the same time as Jean Genie during some jam on the tour bus...
