[Stereo] Live performance of a great track from his early solo career, post-New York Dolls, on USTV. The interview after the song is incomplete, as my tape ran out.....

Backed by the house band, and a few others. The guitarist, Jimmy Vivino, packs a lot into this tune before it is over with.

2. Anyone remember the big screen version

of Car 54, Where Are You? I wonder if David Johansen would like to forget it too

I always knew about Jimmy Page, and Richard Nixon but not this one. I'll have to go to obscure song of the day on facebook and post.
