Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

Lolz, that'll keep him busy

Rick Springfield can still rock it. He is vastly underrated and has a large body of work: rock, pop, blues and country. This guy should be in the RRHF; hopefully he will be someday.

Here's someone else who's not in the RRHOF but certainly could/should be






Last Chance Texaco is a lyrical masterpiece. It's every bit as good as any 1970s or 1980s Springsteen song, if you ask me - and I'm Bruce's biggest fan.

A long stretch of headlights
Bends into I-9
Tiptoe into truck stops
And sleepy diesel eyes
Volcanoes rumble in the taxi
And glow in the dark
Camels in the driver's seat
A slow, easy mark

But you ran out of gas
Down the road a piece
Then the battery went dead
And now the cable won't reach...

It's your last chance
To check under the hood
Last chance
She ain't soundin' too good,
Your last chance
To trust the man with the star
You've found the last chance Texaco

Well, he tried to be Standard
He tries to be Mobil
He tried living in a world
And in a shell
There was this block-busted blonde
He loved her - free parts and labor
But she broke down and died
And threw all the rods he gave her

But this one ain't fuel-injected
Her plug's disconnected
She gets scared and she stalls
She just needs a man, that's all

It's her last chance
Her timing's all wrong
Her last chance
She can't idle this long
Her last chance
Turn her over and go
Pullin' out of the last chance Texaco
The last chance

I asked Gixmo to say that...I'm just so ashamed!

I realized I could post while changing Disks. So I can post a little bit, Here let me share my feelings...

It surly must offend the music gods that she is not!! I'm in total agreement. Very very few songs can be said to carry a metaphort offends ME!

I think this one is fairly old but fairly new to me...When I came across it it just blew me away!

When you posted that one last time I recommended that you watch the movie it was written for with Mickey Rourke.

Did you ever get to see it?
