Song of the day

Let's set the mood.
Lighten it up.
Tighten it up.
Contribute. Please.

Was privileged to hear Molasses Creek at a house concert last night. They are a band from Ocracoke, and they know several of my friend that live on the Island. It was a great gathering of 50 friends for good food and music.

Rock forgot one of its wildest front men. He's got a story to tell.
Peter Wolf befriended music legends, married a movie star and led the J. Geils Band. His new memoir reminds us: He was there.

More than 20 years ago, Peter Wolf, the former front man of the J. Geils Band, drove across town to see his buddy David Bieber, a local media figure known for his equally nocturnal habits.

It was past midnight when they hopped into Wolf's car, and he put on a song he had just finished for his next record. A wash of gritty guitars gave way to that voice, raspy and melodic, delivering the opening lines of "Nothing but the Wheel."

Well I'm past the boulevard

Out here underneath the stars

They sat in silence as another singer joined in the second verse: Mick Jagger.

"Oh my God, Peter, you finally did it," Bieber told him when it was done. "You pushed every button necessary."

The song was a rootsy rocker in the spirit of "Exile on Main Street." The Stones hook was the clincher. Wolf was about to launch a massive tour.

"Radio," Bieber said, "is going to eat this up."

I always liked this music.

I think it was Peter Wolf who said, "Take your false teeth out sweet mama, let me suck on your gums."  If not a direct quote, then perhaps close.  I used the line often in my early 20s when I was chasing WV cougars just across the boarder.
