As well he should have been.

Well, cutest Eagle.
Also very musically gifted.

It's old news now, but Sinead O'Connor does need representation here.

Pee-Wee takes Dave for a spin.

I was half asleep on the sofa when I first saw this, and ended up falling off in laughter. I didn't know what I was looking at. It was a satire of ... something. I mean, I at least knew that much.

A rare comic actor that was equally good playing to the audience as he was to the camera.

Robbie Robertson was normally content to let one of the other members of the Band take vocal duties, as Levon Helm and Richard Manuel and Rick Danko were all more than capable. But he had his moments nonetheless. This is maybe my favorite Band song on which he is the featured vocalist.

My brother dated a woman who was a personal assistant to Jim Jarmusch. When my brother finally got to meet the guy, her warning to him was not to get into a conversation about bands and shit. My brother took that as absurd. He LOVED to bullshit about bands. But the thing about Jim Jarmusch was that talking about bands meant talking about ... Spooky Tooth. The guy knew all there was to know about fucking Spooky Tooth, owned everything they put out, and did not take to letting the conversation drift to another topic. My brother took pride in being able to bullshit his way past a gap in his knowledge, but he had to surrender. There was a great big Spooky Tooth-sized gap that there was no bullshitting past.

He relayed this sad situation to me, and I acknowledged that I had no Spooky Tooth info to convey either, other than a vague awareness that there was a band called Spooky Tooth, and they were likely British, possibly bluesy, possibly psychedelic, possibly both, possibly neither.

But I AM a Beatle-head, and half way through my brother's recounting of his embarrassing encounter, I realized I DID have some ST knowledge. Gary Wright played keyboards on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass masterpiece, and at the time, he had been a member of that very same Spooky Tooth.

George and Gary stayed friends, which helped launch Gary's solo career, where he not only had a nice poor-man's-Steve-Winwood thing going with his voice, he was also a pioneer in wearable keyboards, as well as deploying percussionist chicks in karate suits.

Despite preferring the 1984 NLCS had commenced in a different NL East ballpark, this is a championship-caliber rendition of the anthem.

Dwight Twilley was a semi-legendary power-pop icon who lost a key chunk of his career to legal infighting with the labels and such, and so never really found his moment. But despite having his name on the band, he was cool enough to let drummer Phil Seymour do a lot of the singing.

Also, the bass player looks kinda familiar too.

Twilley and Petty were labelmates and performed on each other's early rekkids. One could spend hours streaming seldom-heard Beatlesque Twilley tunes.

I was late to the Twilley party only discovering him a couple of years ago. One of my faves:

I should remark Dwight Twilley probably had a branding issue in that 9 out of 10 Rawk fans would probably assume "the Dwight Twilley Band" is a country act.

They probably should have kept their original name Oister.

This name is completely new to me as of this thread.

Twilley don't mind.

An absolute banger on Friday Night Videos for those of us not then connected to MTV.

A favorite video-on-the-cheap in our household — beloved less for the Porky's parallels than for the distinctiveness of the coach-pep-talk concept and the bit of asscrack that they get from the boy who is late to the dance line in his towel.

The director seemed to broadly enjoy photographing butts in one state or another.

The name Dwight Twilley was new to me, but as soon as "Girls" cranked up, I recognized it from long ago.

Edgy MD · Post by **Edgy MD** » Sun Oct 29, 2023 10:19 pm

Rudolph Isley deserves a quarter in this juke box. He's singing the "Do whatcha wanna do" countermelodies here, and killing it sartorially with his cape and medallion.

The power popping Dwight Twilley band had Phil Seymour on drums

Phil had a major role on the vocals on Tom Petty's American Girl

Dig this sublime piece of rusted garage rock treasure from The Nips, Shane's pre-Pogue band.

Myles Goodwin, April Wine's singer and one of the rockinest guys to come out of New Brunswick, dead at 75

It's easy to forget that Laine was a founding member of the MOODY BLUES
It didn't last long as a dispute with their record company led to a near complete lineup change
and a transition from a British Invasion sound to the early prog/art rock sound they'd use to
go on to fame and fortune under Justin Hayward and John Lodge.
But this Laine composition and vocal was the MB's first hit.
