This epic journey rivals 22nd street as it cruises along for nearly 4 and half minutes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS DEFINITELY SOME WHAT OF A TRIBUTE MAYBE TOO "WILD BOYS' BY DURAN DURAN....OR SOME WHO OR CHICAGO SONG FROM 1973..........BILLY KRODEL PLAYS THE KEYBOARD SOLO HERE ALA' THE DOORS 'LOVE HER MADLY" !..........THIS ONE ....I HOPE THE CONGREGATION AT ST. LAWRENCE MARTYR PLAYS ALOUD SOMEDAY AT MY FUNERAL.........IT SAYS IT ALL ABOUT 251 AND IT SAYS IT ALL ABOUT THE USA AND EARTH IN GENERAL !
WELL WELL...WELL......THIS INFAMOUS GE CLASSIC IS THE OPENING SONG THAT GREETS YOU AS YOU DELV INTO "WHITE SUBURBAN LIARS -- THE ROCK OPERA" ...RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1995........LATER RE-RELEASED ON JUNE 6, 1996 AT ALL THE RECORD STORES IN THE SOUTH BAY.....MY HOW TIMES HAD CHANGED...THE DAY THIS THING HIT STORE SHELVES...THE GUY AT GO BOY RECORDS REMINDED ME ..."SHARK,...YOU HAVN'T PLAYED A GIG IN YEARS...WHERE ARE YOU....he went on to warn me..'this thing ain't gonna sell...if you don't play shows...no matter how good it is",,,,I remember I thought about what he said...But I brushed it off....sure enough....out of the 300 cd's I laid around the South Bay...I think I sold like three copies....My brother Burt bought one...and maybe some little chick from Torrance bought another......I remember crawling back to record stores and removing this from the circulation potential of the record store shelves.......GE WAS 'OFFICIALLY OVER' 1996 !.....A HORRIBLE BLISTERING REVIEW GREETED ME IN THE PAGES OF FLIPSIDE MAGAZINE...WHO I COULD ALWAYS TRUST IN THE OLD DAYS.......WORSE STILL........SEVERAL OTHER MAGAZINES GAVE IT EVEN WORSE REVIEWS....TIMES HAD REALLY CHANGED ALL AROUND ME ! YOU COULDN'T SAY THINGS IN SONGS ANYMORE THAT YOU COULD IN 89...HELL EVEN THE FIRST PART OF 91 TOO !...THE HEAVY METAL MACHISMO AND THIN BIGOTRY LINE THAT WAS PROTECTING THE SAVAGE AMERICA NATION...HAD NOW BEEN ERASED AND CRUSHED BY NIRVANA...and then all that other crap that came along........1995,96, and 97 were some of the coldest politically correct years of America...Clinton in the White House and all'''..........anyway Mysogynistia doesn't give a shit...this is one of those 'cheesey' ge elton-rush'duran duran-chicago-sting type songs but it has lyrics that would chill the spine of Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh or any so called "Shocker"....IT IS AN OUT AND OUT ASSAULT ON WOMEN IN GENERAL...AND IT DESCRIBES THE DIVORCE SITUATION IN DYSFUNCTIONAL AMERICA SO BEAUTIFUL...YOU JUST HAVE TO HEAR IT !....OFCOURSE THE VERSION ON THE OPERA...STARTS WITH THE WHO SELL OUT'S "MONDAY...TUESDAY" INTRO.....A PARADY AN ATTORNEY ONCE TOLD ME...AND MAYBE HOPEFULLY -- I CANNOT BE SUED...DEPENDING ON THE LIB JUDGE AND JURY PETE COULD SHOP HIS CASE TO....OFCOURSE THE ENTIRE ALBUM IS A SPINAL TAP SPOOF ON THE WHO AND THEIR GRAND ALBUM IDEAS LIKE TOMMY AND QUADROPHENIA.....C' MON NOW....YOU ALL KNOW NO THER BAND ON THE PLANET COULD DO THIS...EXCEPT ONE...; GE
