I suspect that Romeotuna has left the hotel in Las Vegas for a more religious venu.

Go figure!

More of Stan Ridgway's solo work would be a nice addition to the rotation.

the best way to sample Iguana - Hot off the barby.

Brings back memories of growing up in Toronto listening to the once great CFNY.

I remember that like it was yesterday.  Hard to believe its been 30 years.  Fortunately, the song wears well.  Of course if it was played a couple times a day I'd be putting a pick through my ears.

I recently took a 10-day road trip in a car with Sirius XM radio. Heard this about six times. Not that that's bad, but compared to RP satellite radio pales.

This entire album is awesome and has a definite 'southwest 80s/festival' sound to it. A sound that is unique and unpretentious.

For me, this is one of those classic songs that made watching MTV so much fun back in 1983.  Of course it wasn't complete unless you had the cable splitter that allowed the awesome experience of hearing the music IN STEREO!
