And now sounding insane on the Workingman's 50th!
Not Fade Away

Can't believe I haven't seriously descended on this colossus before. Almost gets Who-like at times. One of of the elite.

Nod to quinn - classic '73 Grateful Dead. Light as a feather then they ram in down yr throat. Band at the height of its dynamic powers.
