Don't forget. Mott the Hoople represented the very best of the working man's side of the glam movement. Where did all the 96 decible freaks go? Who are the loud bands nowadays?? God, I miss dancing. And fighting for a place in the front row (until it became too easy...) The smash sensations are so watered down or melodramatic lately. Not naming names. It's all in your mind. The golden age of rock n' roll is still out there, biding its time, just waiting for that moment... MORE

So, what's going on with the big picture?? Is Wall Street in big crash mode?? Can/Should the government continue the bailouts?? What's that gonna cost the common man if they do/if they don't?? I don't have these answers. If my bank fails, what becomes of my mortgage if my bank goes belly up? Do I get kicked out? If I can still make payments...whose interest would that be in? I can't answer these either...can you??? The addition of Ariel Bender (the former Spooky To... MORE

Are any of us really free? Societal expectaions so often dictate what can and can't be. The American "dream"? pfftt It's over, if it was ever really there. Ya wanna be an astronaut Johnny? Stick a firecracker up your rear. President? Join the circus. Oh that's right, the sideshows have all been merged with Wall Street. Of course, sufferance is the price you pay for refusing to play. Most can't resist the apple and get tangled in the strings. And dance to the tune...... MORE

Temptation never led to any actual transactions with the world's oldest profession. All that sex, drugs and rock 'n roll never did lead to enough sex. Some fine honky-tonk piano highlights this glimpse inside Hunter's fence-eve view, respect, fear reverence and sagely advice for the NYC working girl of the title...

If someone posed the rather juvenile query "what's you're favorite rock band of all time?", no doubt I would answer Mott. I mean, even after stellar strummer Mick Ralphs left the band to be replaced by ex-Spooky Tooth Luther Grosvener (who changed his name to "Ariel Bender" just for this band??) - and - they let bassist Overend Watts step to the mike(on this cut); they still left an impression that smolders to this day. Did you know that Mick Jones (the Clash one) follow... MORE

1. Tanya Tucker, "Delta Dawn." She first heard the song when Bette Midler sang it on the Tonight Show. After her own version was a hit, Helen Reddy took the song to #1. Tucker was 13 years old when she cut her record. 2. The O'Jays, "Back Stabbers." 1972 was one of the greatest years for popular soul and R&B, as one after another catchy track with socially-conscious lyrics rose up the charts. Hard to find a better example than this one ... the album was great as well. 3.... MORE

You can't beat old Mott The Hoople for some kick-ass rock grooves. As the story goes, the recording sessions for the Bowie produced savior effort "All The Young Dudes" took place in the same time and place where the Stones were laying down the tracks for "Sticky Fingers". Richards and Ralphs listened to what each other were coming up with across the hall, each trying to compose the groove-masters trump card. They hit their peak on Jerkin' Crocus/Brown Sugar. Sure, the Ston... MORE

Kwinnton down below said it's a long time since he heard Mott The Hoople. Here you go.

I've been listening to this album a lot lately. The laid-back countryfried sound seems to fit a lot of the time. And this particular cover, IMHO, gets it right.

After a couple of tries I was able to add the "last songs played" list to my page. For awhile I was getting a Chamillionaire track listed. The identity code of a song I was playing must've matched up with that of Herr Chamillionaire's track or some other Computer Mystery like that happened. It's gone now and my precious, precious credibility is now safe again. So I can show my recent faves for all to see without embarassment. I made a connection and noticed a good gro... MORE
