As a teenager in White Bread, Pennsylvania, this was my first introduction to cultural sensitivity...See! I can participate in the Anthrax talk!
Even Father Hetfield said it's a perfect song. Sadly, the last with Dan Spitz.
I've always said if I could play drums like anyone it would be, Charlie Benante
*EDIT* HA! You posted that update on Spitz while I was reading/typing, I guess.
So, I went and looked to see what Dan Spitz was doing these days, and I couldn't have been more surprised:
Hey Ma! I made it!!
I feel like Pete Drake was way ahead of his time.
I hate that for you. We had to put down our dog Gabi last Saturday. I just remind myself that we wouldn’t be so sad when they leave us if they didn’t make us so happy while they are here. Sending good vibes your way.After losing our St Bernard Kopi last Tuesday, I can't bear to actually listen to his song at the moment, but I do love this one and I have it going through my head since. Even reading the lyrics made my eyes well up.
My Dad used to play Dr. Hook in the car all the time when I was a kid. I still occasionally bust out “Cover of the Rolling Stone” during acoustic gigs.
