Re: Marky Dread's song for the day.
Learned something new today......I had no idea this was written by Garland Jeffreys, I always assumed it was a Circle Jerks original. Just shows how much I konw (or don't know!).

Classic track. I also love Chris Spedding's version.

Hello,
Garland Jeffreys is a really good artist - very New York. I saw him once - he doesn't tour much as far as I know - and seldom leaves New York.

Good band, good song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

One of those bands that get totally overlooked. Altamont and the death of Meredith Hunter is the inspiration for this track.

Yeah thanks for bringing them up. I think record companies had a hard time figuring out how to market themMarky Dread wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 9:26amOne of those bands that get totally overlooked. Altamont and the death of Meredith Hunter is the inspiration for this track.

Great tune!
I love this song and it's part of my usual setlist, I play a bit of a hybrid of Garland's and the Circle Jerks version.

Very nice. I particularly liked "this is where your solo would go".
