Wow....How old is this guy in this video? I saw him when he was about 50 in Detroit and was amazed how he was all over the stage, doing the spilts, jumpin up and down,ect...

I think he's about 64 here. I can't even move that good now!

When I first heard of this song, I thought it might be a reference to the 225CID version of the Chrysler slant 6, but of course the Buick Electra 225 makes perfect sense in context!

But where has Suzi Hendrix been all my life? Pretty, plays a mean sax, got the moves--what's not to like?

I've been into music since the summer of '63, and a piece of music has to be pretty special to make me sit up and say "wow!" I'm sorry I didn't get to catch Nay Dog during his lifetime.
