Graham Parker TEMPORARY BEAUTY live!

[derbyzdad]

Glad to see GP and the Rumour getting a big part in the followup to "Knocked Up". Good to have the band back together again.

what a man

[Nostalgicflashback]

One of my all time favorite songs.

[RManFlint]

I have no idea how Graham Parker and the Rumour weren'b big. Probably because the A&R people were CPA's with nasty coke habits.

[LissG76]

Damn.... beautiful, I'd marry him tomorrow.... even if he COULD be my dad.

[Jokkrock]

This is a masterpiece I wouldn´t like to live without.

[modmatt1]

[skontch1]

Free world, free speech, and for once someone pointing out the error of vanity! 99% of the world might not love you, but 1% probably loves the 'boy' or 'girl' nuts of you just the way you are!

[jackbrown96]

condescending? You mean satirical, yes?

[bigchas1]

super!!!!!

[peaches111351]

Enough said. Great  lyricist!

[klarkbar]

This is one of his best songs. The hook is killer (more in the LP version). And the lyrics are somehow sympathetic and extremely condescending at the same time. It's so weirdly bitter and sweet. Classic!

[scoonman]

I saw him live in the mid 80s and this is one song he didn't do during the show. Several people requested it, but all for naught.

[spaceageromeo]

Absolutely perfect.

[whidbey65]

Dude has one of the coolest voices in rock.

Such authority and bite.

Fabulous rendition of one of GP's most beautiful songs.  Thanks for posting it.
