SATURDAY NIGHT JOE JACKSON, FAITH NO MORE, RUSH.

Reasonably good Joe Jackson hit, "Nineteen forever". What do I say? It's a brilliant song!




At some point in the mid-nineties these guys were real cool. Faith No More with Midlife Crisis. The cover is of Angel Dust, the album the hit was drawn off. I read somewhere sometime that singer Mike Patton used to drink one of his shoes full of urine on stage. Well, to each his own.




And because I am in such a good mood, Rush with Afterimage. That's one from the 1984 album Grace under Pressure.




Rush must be the biggest rock band that has forever eluded mainstream. No matter whether you like them, their craftmanship is undeniable. Geddy Lee is a wizard on the keyboards, Alex Lifeson I'd rate among the planet's five most proficient guitar players, and Neil Peart is the best drummer this side of Zeta Reticuli (period).


Good night. Tomorrow's Easter.
