Cheap Trick – Southern Girls

I can’t stop. I listen to this song every day, at least once. It’s closer to three times a day, like taking my medicine. Something about it is all-encompassing, and possesses a general feeling of Rock and Roll awe that I have been searching for. And I didn’t think that feeling could be elevated. Until I saw this video of the band performing it on Don Kirschner’s Rock Concert. One year, six months and one day before I was born.

How obnoxiously cool is Rick Nielson in this video? And Robin Zander? Oh yeah – white pantsuit dreaminess. Also – I always forget that Tom Petersson was actually hot. And there aren’t a whole lot of words you can use to describe Bun E. Carlos’ except ‘Milton-from-Office-Space’ mixed in with DRUM KING.

That reminds me, I have to find out what this Tinted Windows grouping is all about. Enjoy!
