Long, patient, mellow version.

What can I say, I love Bobby and i love this tune. This naturally quirky song is executed perfectly, as with most outings in spring/summer '85

Jerry's first solo puts this one over the top

Rapid fire version out of a heady space. Jam is high octane

Space jams from summer '85 are legit

I really urge people to spin this one. Such a creative jam out of NFA. Brimming w creativity. My favorite version for sure

Glad to hear Cuse! Jort army standard issue uniform includes: pink tank top (can be supplemented with the occasional Madonna T shirt), 80's reflective sun glasses, tube socks, and of course, pre-cut, frayed 8 inch regulation denim jorts. Damn bobby's steeze got weird... Guy is the man though, so I applaud him just being himself. Easily the unsung hero of the band and the guy that gets the most shit (besides donna, of course)

Dug it, thanks a lot! The way you feel about this version is the way i feel about 5-9-79. Literally the best bobby/jerry interplay i have ever heard, featured in the end jam. I implore people to listen - you will not be disappointed. Again though, this version is really sweet. Sorry for the highjack!
