    So good, just descovered them after reading Patti Smith's book.

    Crazy Springsteen did a cover of them.

    State Trooper from Nebraska is a total bite of Suicide.

    Everyone jocks the first album on Red Star, but I reckon this one is almost as good.



    I saw them open for the Clash in 1978. Most of the audience hated them, but I thought they were pretty cool.

    Patti in the book says they used to scare the fuck out of people.

    Yeah, I posted something about this very video a while back. Donald Fagen, Reverend Jim Jones, and Mitch Ryder all choking each other inside a single black turtleneck. Riveting.

    "Ghost Rider" has to be one of the greatest first-song-first-side-first-record jernts ever. On par with "Foxy Lady" and the GOAT, Sly's "Underdog."

    But yeah, I, too, need to check that other record.

    ...

    In a side note: Though I do really like, surprisingly enough, that Inner City's "Good Life" he did, it's amazing how many truly great songs exist as just-okay cover versions by various Mick-Collins-related outfits.

    There's a cut called Harlem which is pretty out there.

    There's also this, by the ex-lead singer of Josef K.
