John says good-bye. "I hope I didn't ruin your whole vacation" A grandfathers love spans the generations.
I learned something today; the guy that wrote that song, Chip Taylor, is actor Jon Voight's younger brother, and the uncle of Angelina Jolie. His claim to fame is that he also wrote 'Wild Thing' and 'Angel of the Morning'. Born James Wesley Voight in Yonkers, NY.
Speaking of Wild Thing - here's Sam Kinison's version, maybe posted already but a classic. I love the first scene. Sam, Rodney, and John Bon Jovi sitting in a diner. Sam says, 'C'mon guys, let's go out and have some fun, you know, let's go to a party that has bands, and action, and women! I love women, you can change them like hats.' John: 'Well, I like hats, but...' Rodney: 'I don't know, guys, you know, after I make love to a girl, I go back for firsts.' Tons of musicians in the video, Aerosmith, Billy Idol, Dweezil Zappa, Slash, Guns n' Roses, Tommy Lee and maybe others I don't recognize. And who's the girl, you say? It's Jessica Hahn. Remember her?
I've watch that video 5 times! my reactions maybe predictable, but it's an honest one. **** all those perfect people! ":O) Wild thing has been a hit with me since I was 18.
Paul Reed Smith builds fine guitars. If I could play one well I'd love a PRS. First time I really noticed someone playing a PRS was Kat Dyson backing Cyndi Lauper on the "At Last" DVD. The woman is an accomplished guitarist and sings well too. Drummers need good gear as well. A drumstick isn't any old stick.
