The Last Bass Outpost

I had only heard a few things about the Jake Holmes situation.  What I was more baffled by was the Randy California estate case.  I don't see how the jury could come to an objective conclusion when they weren't even allowed to hear the songs. 

If more girls next door looked that good, all the neighbors would be happier.

Definitely. 

Nice Ric there.

Something which I think might have been more noticeable had it not been for the car wash-girls distraction.  I kept wondering if someone was going to make a Tawny Kitaen-like appearance on the video.  They did get pretty close.  But maybe it's time for new ideas for videos.

Tale of a fake band with a fake fan base going on a "tour" with empty venues.

Some of the comments below the video are amusing, though. 

Roxette---a good song that should have got more attention. 

Indeed, both do well with the annual "Merry X-mas Everybody"-paycheck alone, which is always good for a higher six digit figure in Pound Sterling. And Jim Lea is a neighbour of Senora Ciccone in London, so likely not the worst part of town.

That's very good to hear. 

It is still baffling that Slade found little success in the U.S., but Quiet Riot was successful with Slade songs, especially "Cum On Feel the Noize."  But Jim Lea was accurate in the article where he says Americans never got Slade and that's too bad  At the very least we could have been enriched by that Slade Christmas song.  I really like it.
