I always dug the song since first hearing it in the late 80ies during a work stint in NYC. Saw the 'Unter (with Ronno) play live there too. But I never knew there was a video. Here's a love song to all you Yanks and your lasting cultural impact:

You saw Hunter Ronson...? I saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon... spiffing gig... I believe that gig was released as part of his monster box set but not got that...

Listened to this yesterday... melancholia set in due to a year since his passing rolling through...

Yeah, I saw them in some NYC club/theater in '88 where I had also seen Buster Poindexter/David Johansen a few weeks before or after. Great gigs, both of them.

In '90, I saw Hunter Ronson again in Frankfurt. Another great gig. Ronson was endlessly cool.

Since then, I've seen the 'Unter a few times more (and of course I have that mammothian boxed set), which mostly means travelling to Scandinavia or the UK - he hardly ever tours Germany,  neither he nor Mott the Hoople ever meant much here, sadly.

And he's pronounced "Peert" as in "hear", not "Part" as in "heart", "Purt" as in "heard" or "Pairt" as in "pear".  :mrgreen:

Iconic drummer, may your rudiments paradiddle forever & in peace!

Furlough has set in over here... 3rd week of lockdown post the Christmas period... so this week has been going through the BOC box set, and next was all the Foo Fighters, followed by the first two Roxy Music LP's... the K-Pax soundtrack rolled through next...
I've been doing this whilst repairing old PC's... about 30 of them... where they had been cluttering up space in two towers stacked up in my music room... newest was a scrapped W8 Pro that is now a W10 Pro and oldest is W95... :mrgreen:

I've been contemplating some classical works... I was gifted a few thousand CD's by an elderly customer that used to be a classical radio DJ... he was about 90 but passed on before CV19 hit... no one wanted them and the record companies just kept sending him the promos... to give you an idea of what I went through... there were about 200 Beethoven, 150 Motzart, about 80 Tchaikovsky, you name it, he had it... I promised I would find a home for them... they had become a millstone round his neck... filled my wife's old Zafira twice to clear them, and I mean back seats flat, to the roof full... he actually wanted to pay me for clearing them away... he was a piano and violin teacher... a musician all his life... rip Sir...
a lot of them have gone to good homes already...
Maybe some Wagner or Mahler's 1st tomorrow... maybe some Saint-Saëns... still got over 1000 to go through, at a conservative estimate...

Here in the states some libraries have CD and video lending as part of their functions. There might be libraries interested...?

Same here... all of ours do, afaik... The Gent in question was one of the senior musical teachers in my part of Scotland, so he had the contacts... all the schools, colleges and libraries declared no interest as most folks here (apparently) use the "digital" medium to dip into something, or so it appeared... His family declared no interest, not even in his piano... Most loaning sites can only hold an item so long due to space requirements if it will only be taken out once in a blue moon, so... He retired at 65 but continued to give violin and piano lessons until his hands failed him; he also became the Saturday night "Classical Jock" for a "hobby" until the station dropped the show, hence the reasons for the "reviewing" contacts... I only new him in his mid to late 80's and he was that independent that he was still driving when I last saw him aged 89...

The ultra fast switching between the camera angles make watching this video a slightly epileptic experience :o
