That is funny. Didn't he die some kind of odd death fairly young? A shooting, I think, kind of suspicious but was never officially ruled a suicide? EDIT: Left out a word. The end of the original sentence death fairly? Didn't he die fairly, like he was in a duel. Young, fairly YOUNG. Damn it, I suck.
Here I am cheating again, but I figured I'd be forgiven. I just had to do this one. I'm a huge Todd Rundgren fan, guy is a genius. If anyone doesn't agree with that statement they can fight me. And fck Steven Tyler. He's a ginormous POS.
A "gun handling accident." Rumors went from Russian roulette to the old "eating one's gun." It was only a few years after he had his "one hit." Could be the money was already running out. Of course there may have been some substances involved. I had never seen the video you posted but wow - is he skinny in it and he was always a fat kid.
I had to do this one, too: 'Summer in the City' by The Lovin Spoonful. It came out in the mid-60s, but hear me out. They had a bunch of hits, but for some bizarre unknown reason this song had a big resurgence in the mid-late 70s. I'm not particularly fond of it but there's a nostalgic memory that cracks me up to this day. My friend, Mark. Every word in the song that rhymes with city he would substitute with the word titty. Of course I would shriek, but it was also his theatrics that did me in especially the part all around people looking half dead. Use your imagination. You can see why we're friends. So sing along and do that substitution thing! You're welcome. EDIT & P.S.: I had to add that I was just laughing my head off listening to this and doing it. "Been down, don't you know it's a titty." "Cool cat, looking for a titty." I don't care how juvenile it is but I just made my own day. Now I have to call him later.
Yeah, plus what I posted is the long version. The radio version most stations played was much shorter.
Somehow I didn't realize until recently that Kenny Rogers was the singer here before he went all country fried chicken on us
Kenny Rogers and the First Edition had a weird genesis. They started out as members of the New Christy Minstrels, the goofiest, schmaltziest folk group of the early '60s. Kenny looked a bit different in those days!
