One of the things I really loved about Lowe’s first album was how many of the songs liberally borrowed bits and pieces from other artists’ songs – a la the Thin Lizzy lift here. I love several of his other albums, but always miss that initial sense of cheekiness.
was the song that hooked me on Lowe But never made the connection to Vonnegut even though I read the book. Cheers, now I must go cue up Pure Pop for Now People as it was called here in Canada & on the jacket sleeve of the LP in my collection
Good stuff, Steve. Might wanna fix the typo on Vonnegut’s protagonist. 😉
Jeez! Thanks.
I’m rereading the novel now so it leapt out at me! Lol.
No matter how many times I re-read it before hitting publish...sigh...
Writing is a different side of the brain than editing. I get it. I'd KILL to have an editor after I write, but hey that's more money out the door. ;-)

I’m with you. Lightning in a bottle. Perfection.
Sounds like that Steely Daniel song don't it.
Not a big SD fan. Which song?
"Reelin' In The Years".
YES
Thanks! I can use more of this enthusiasm.

Enjoy!
One of my all time faves by him! I find myself saying "and so it goes" a lot these days. lol.
😉
I have a Nick post coming soon!
Great minds!
Great piece. I was ignorant of early Lowe until the reissue of Jesus of Cool, but fell in love quickly.
Thanks, man! There's lots to love there, for sure.
