BREAKING: Guitarist Elvin Bishop once reportedly fooled around, but did not fall in love
From VH-1's Behind the Music:
Bishop was supposedly was in a bar during a recent stay in Austin TX, were he met someone, and they fooled around, and they didn't fall in love. He said "Look, it's just a song, sometimes I've fooled around and fell in love, other times I fell in love but hadn't fooled around, and other nights I just go online and play "Minecraft." It's just a damned song."
When asked if Mickey Thomas, who sang on the original song and later joined Jefferson Starship, had fooled around and fell in love since the song's release in 1975, he replied "I think he's married, or was married, I'm not sure. Most nights on the road he burned incense in his room and kept repeating "I want my own band, I want my own band, I want my own band," while the rest of us were partying down with the locals. He had that one big hit about building the city with rock and roll, and I Googled it, and it turned out he's never actually built a city, on rock and roll or on anything else. He's just a guy who used to be in my band who stayed in his room a lot."
Mickey Thomas could not be reached for comment.
= new reply since forum marked as read
There are few songs that have appeared on so many "soft rock" compilation albums. I have a few from Time-Life and I think it showed up twice. They definitely hit all the right notes on that one.
