On the recommendation of a favored NON TOUR DIARY reader, A&R finally watched YOUNG@HEART. Seeing the group rehearse I Feel Good made A&R so nervous, but the night of the performance, when it really counted, they pulled it off.
Songs like Bowie's Golden Years, the Ramones' I Wanna Be Sedated, and The Who's, oops i meant The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go take on a whole new meaning when sung by a group whose median age is 80+.
One of the performers'phrasing brought to mind Marianne Faithfull circa the Broken English LP. That's my favorite MF record.
Still no tour or shows or anything...2buy fearing the repo man.
good for you!
