just a little bemused over the fact that foghat have become the punchline to
every '70's-culture joke ever told. mayhap the silly moniker? 'energized',
'fool for the city', and 'foghat live' are among the first 10-or-so rock
records i ever heard and for that they've always been close to my heart.
since then i've grown older and wiser (and more jaded and cynical! yeehah!)
but still enjoy the occaisional spin. shit-hot slide geetar! check out their
2 contributions to the rattlesnake guitar peter green comp.
anyway, i was looking for the word 'liver' in his obit, but found 'kidney'
and 'cancer' instead. so maybe he didn't die of drink like rory g. did; but
foghat were still a working band, so he did pass a'rockin'.
a friend in hi-school used to pronounce it 'lonesome dave pervert...
sorry!
