In my "Bowie: covers+" playlist. A clever guy, that Jonathan Richman, rhyming "Picasso" with "asshole". But after watching the biopic starring Anthony Hopkins, it's hard to believe that he was never called one! Thanks for the upload!

"fuzz" Is mid 60s British Garage/Psyche taken from American blues and made glorious by punks of the 60s playing in America. This track harbours back to the psych but it's harder in sound and kicks

The lyrics and music are whimsical. It's meant to be like this. But's okay that more experimental/creative music doesn't appeal to the mainstream. That's what country music, and pop music are for. [Except for brilliantly subversive pop like the catalogs of Sparks, or Pet Shop Boys.]
