Nevermind.
Kurt Cobain was a fuckwit, just thought that I'd get that off of my chest.
Pete Wells died yesterday. I always thought that he was under-rated in the pantheon of Rock Gods*, possibly because he first rode to fame as guitarist (as opposed to bass player) in the self-caricaturising Rose Tattoo. You could hear the bass player in his guitar work, especially the slide stuff. Very simple and straitforward, every note was there for a purpose. I first saw him play in 1983 and have always tried to keep up with him, although it's kinda hard bein' in the boonies.
I'm gunna go play Blues Hangover now, but before I go, one brief memory. That time in 1983 that I saw Rose Tattoo was the first time that I'd ever seen anybody knock themself out by banging their head on the stage.
* Sepps and other iggerant furriners aren't supposed to know who Pete Wells was. Shame on you bonzer Aussies who had to Google. Less yer a kid.

Sounds like you'll excuse us Yanks for not knowing who he is, right?
I figured you were busy, not ignoring me. Funny, though, that I was greeting you in your sleep :)
LOL! I just "got" the significance of this post's title... DUH.
You're so silly, Dirk.
But thanks for making me laugh :)
