'Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again'

Bruce idolized Roy Orbison. Here are some fun videos:

You know you are special when Bruce, Jackson Browne, and Elvis Costello are your guitarists, Bonnie Raitt, Jennifer Warnes, and KD Lang are your backup singers, and Tom Waits is your piano player.

And then there's this guy. Another one sorely missed, what a talent. And what a song.


And the guitar he's playing is possibly the world's most valuable guitar: the Peter Green Les Paul called 'Greeny'. Here is the story of how PG lent the guitar to GM, and then convinced Gary to buy it for $300.

Ah Guitars and the men and women who love them!
Thanks TR.
I like the way you string us along! ":O}

Is he that big or is his guitar that small?

Hehe, search and ye shall find. Here ya go:

"Mungo Jerry are a British rock group who experienced their greatest success in the early 1970s, with a changing line-up that has always been fronted by Ray Dorset. The group's name was inspired by the poem "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer", from T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats."

Old T.S. is probably rolling over in his grave

My favorite TSE line
"And we shall return to that unknown and remembered gate, and know it for the first time."

I would have never guessed they were a brit group, I was thinking southern rock.

Personally I think at least one of them should named Mungo!!

“Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” by Rupert Holmes was the top song when 1980 started.

It was replaced on the Jan. 5, 1980, chart by “Please Don’t Go” by KC And The Sunshine Band. “Escape” returned to No. 1 for one additional week on the Jan. 12, 1980, chart.

Rolling Stones Mag. pick for greatest song of the century.so far
Is to laugh. Are they completely out of there little minds!?
"sometimes I think that boy has got no ears?"
Lyle Loveit

To even claim there is such a song anywhere is beyond absurd.
But to assert that this song is it..?
Give me a break!

What a mind blaster, The Boss and John Fogerty sound a lot like Roy Orbison! I saw Mr Orbison live one Bumbershoot (Seattle's Autumn-ish Music Festival.) He filled the stadium to the brim. And one respectful crowd!

Two women as back up singers produced a symphonic quality to the performance. So glad I went!

Silly me, I always assumed this was a Jimmy Buffet song. Never was a long time Buffet fan, and I didn't care enough about this "Pina Colada " song enough to find out. Even though I liked the drink.
