It's been a week, I know. The wife got back yesterday chock full of stories of Africa. So I found this on the YouTubes. When I was growing up, Rabbitt was everything that was wrong with the world. It was why the cool chicks would never go out with us and why Paul and I spent Saturday nights either in the darkroom or walking the streets of PE. 1976 - I was 16. Check this out (if you can stomach it).
p.s. I will try get back into blogging. No promises though.

This is classic stuff Pete. If you listen to a Croak & A Grunt you can actually hear how progressive these bouys were and it made total sense that Rabin turned up in Yes.
The thing that got me is the words. I think somewhere in the song Charlie, the is the line "I buzz each night on you". What does that mean? I always thought he was singing about this wonderful girl called Charlie. So I looked up the lyrics when I posted the video, only to find he was singing about his dog - I like that a lot more.
I have no complaints about their musical ability. Trevor Rabin is a master, there is no doubt. The words were pretty pitiful though, and the whole super group, screaming girls, posters in bedrooms etc. etc. really bothered me in those days. I took myself way too seriously to give them any credit.
