That was a red-blooded American boy song, just a little more frank than most. Rolling Stones had âSome Girlsâ song around the same time and it was the almost the same but the Stones arenât so punk with the lyrics. Foreigner Hot Blooded not that different in spirit. Hedonism is a rock and roll staple. As is feminism. Patti Smith had songs like this.
Alexander was a fast (6 months?) Velvet. Not sure he made it to Squeeze and not even sure Mo Tucker was there and played with him. Possibly.
Heâs 80 now. I really like this song. The solo was WOW. Hey @kwg I thought I had such a good read on the pulse of the East Coast Punk/New Wave 70s/80s stuff but you keep throwing a lot of new stuff my way. Alexander was Boston which was home to many of that time (J Richman, T Heads, even Standells, etc) really like your tastes and sensibilities all the way around even to the baroque and especially the avant garde of late.
This song had an off-tuning drone. I know where he got that (VU). From that era I really am trying to understand the career of Genya Ravan, but Iâm tied up in Mark Laneganâs back catalog now. Alexander now on the list.
My mother was born in Boston. She hated rock music (and didnât like that I was listening to it), but she did appreciate the reference to the Charles River in this song.
this song brings back memories for me of honestly parting HARD. like probably to hard in hindsight but regardless some strong memories.
Went for a concert and canât stop listening.

He is over 70. And kickinâ ass
âtheyâ credit Dirty Water and a lot of Kinks of that era as the first âgrungeâ and this is a deliciously grungy song, one of my favorites. Itâs worth the price alone just to hear the lead singer scream âfrustrated womenâ I mean how punk is that?

BODY COUNT covering Pink Floydâs âComfortably Numbâ -
One of the GREATEST rock songs ever recorded. Sadly, David Gilmour and Roger Waters HATE each-other. I mean LITERALLY hate each-other. But⊠they both came together not only to approve this cover version from ICE-Tâs band BODY COUNT, but David Gilmour played on it.
Sorry about the sometimes shown nudity but the video of scenes from Ghost in the shell fits perfectly.
If this is inappropriate please delete the post. Thank you.

Here is also the official video if you prefer that:
