Today's Over/Under is 10
Raz Over/Under is 12
Woohoo! I climaxed twice today. It's gotta be downhill now...
18!!!
Well look at you.
You didn't even need my help.
Included girl and guitar to really get Raz hot and bothered.
Susanna Hoffs has gotten me bot and hothered for a long time.
When the Bangles first formed, they called themselves the Bangs, and the recording company asked them to change their name. An interviewer in Rolling Stone asked them if "bangs" referred to their hairstyles. They apparently laughed hysterically at the question.
Giggity.
The thing about the Bangles is that they were not a manufactured pop band. They got produced that way, and it made them rich and famous, and they owe no apologies for taking the money and running with it. But they were a real band who could play. No, none of them were virtuosos, but neither was anyone in Talking Heads, and the only thing the Bangles lacked in comparison to Talking Heads is that the Bangles lacked someone with the artistic vision of David Byrne. But they weren't just sexy girls pretending to be a band. They were a real band, and they could play. What the world saw was what the record company made them to be, and they accepted that and took the money and fame.
But I saw them at the Whiskey before they were nationally famous, and I was impressed. They combined an overt sexuality with primitive rock and roll. It was an intoxicating mix, and if they'd wanted to they could have been a "legitimate" band...whatever that means. They could have been a historic entity, if they'd wanted to spend years of their lives mostly poor but not sellouts. They didn't. They took the money. I don't blame them for that. I'd have done the same thing, if I'd been born good looking.
But there was a brief time when they were the real deal. And I still listen to their first album from time to time and enjoy it.
It is not without reason that Prince - the Minneapolis Genius - was infatuated with them, Susanna Hoffs in particular, and wrote for them their biggest hit. Prince wasn't above taking the money, but he was serious about musicianship. He thought the Bangles were the real deal, too.
