I didn't go see "Rebel Without A Cause" on the big screen as I intended tonight. I had real confusion to deal with that would have clashed with the Actors Studio variety. I do agree with many of James Dean's biographers. That movie created the teenager. Sadly, I can relate to the Jim Backus character more these days or even Natalie Wood!!
Ever hear of Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons? I bought that album at KittyHawk Records in the Seventies. They were Aussies mining the vein of Graham Parker, EC, Nick Lowe, and company. Elvis even covered "So Young". This might have even got some play on Double QQ. Memory doesn't always serve. Side one kept playing in my head this week for some reason. I couldn't name a single song on the flip side. Reggae pub rock fusion. It sounds damn good. It's on YouTube if you're interested.
