Ron,
As soon as I saw a reference to Rockpile, I couldn't click quick enough! Early Nick Lowe is a fav. This is a great little rocker - I can picture Rockpile playing it, with each band member having fags (cigarettes) hanging out of their mouths and surrounded by clouds of smoke.

I love those BVs that come in on verse 5 - once I heard them, I wanted more of them. You know how partial I am to backing ooos and ahhs.

A bridge that goes nowhere - that would be called a pier or a jetty. Good anyway! I'm still trying to work out what this means ... 'The toxic masculinity halo effect'.

An entertaining listen!

Andrew
