always liked these guys. i've got a 45 by them that actually says by "tyrannosauros rex".
Tyrannosauros Rex was the first incarnation of Marc Bolan's band -- it was folky and funky and quirky and I'll bet that 45 is worth something today -- very rare I'd think. I'd love to be able to hear some old Tyrannosauros Rex!!!!!!!! --Shari

Thanks Bill for the great California set you played today! As only a transplanted New Jersey girl could say -- Shari from Trabuco Canyon, Orange County CA, overlooking Mount Modjeska, by way of Brooklyn NY and Princeton NJ.

"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame says you had to have recorded your first piece of music at least 25 years ago. " Maybe Moby and Radiohead will make it if they last that long. (I hope they do actually, but really, think of all the people you've most likely forgotten about during the last 'n' years - no lasting power etc) Anyway love Tom Petty (and yes, he actually was more than slightly derivative at first -- but he was in a 'good' way) Shari

Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! Shine on Syd - may you finally find peace Shari

Dylan at his most cynical - a beautiful version of such a sad, sad poetic song. --Shari

It's an ape-mon world after all -- back in the day they had the most entertaining concerts (after the Davies bros. finished bashing each other - some people felt that was definitely part of the entertainment) Love the Kinks!! --Shari

A Classic -- soooooo sad for me .. For those who mention the HP commercial -- I've never seen it. The best thing I can say is don't watch so much TV! <-( -- Shari

I always liked Alice In Chains -- listening to it now I hear shades of REM at the beginning and U2 at the end! Niever noticed that before! -- Shari

very nice version of this song! I'd call it rockabilly (is that term still used?) Kinda, Roy Orbison, Chris Issak. I still like the Cowboy Junkies version too -- but I'd also love to hear the Marcels! --Shari

Well at least we know that Sarah's come a long way since this song was recorded! The band and arrangement also leave something to be desired! --Shari

Interesting version of a GREAT R&L Thompson song from a great album. Nice but can never never duplicate the incredible feeling and tugs of that original. I don't believe I've ever heard any other cover done of this song before. As covers go, Los Lobos version isn't too shabby! --Shari

I remember enjoying this song when it first came out. I remember jumping up and down and dancing around crazily to this song back in the day. I liked the iconoclastic tone. Quckly the novelty wore off. Very quickly. What was I thinking? Who is the joke on? I think that the band swarmingly assumes that the joke is on us. I've heard this song repeatedly, endlessly, from that day to this. Oldies radio, retro radio, classic radio, All 80s radio, top 40, top 80, ad nauseum. IF I NEVER HEAR THIS SONG AGAIN IT WILL BE TOO SOON. Thank you --Shari

I like this song! And we also know guitarist Mike McCreadys influences: Hendrix and Gilmour - not bad as influences go! He does a good job of nailing the styles. --Shari
