Allow me to introduce you to a bit of my history

I'll never forget the night I first saw this video as long as I live. I was housesitting for my grandfather Irv who was in the VA hospital at the time. It was late, lightning storm outside, it was really the perfect setting.

I was half asleep and watching the real MTV's 120 Minutes program when this goddess shows up on my tv screen. After seeing this video I was never quite the same again, musically. I had to search out more of this kind of music in general and her in very much particular.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Siousxie And The Banshees covering Iggy Pop's immortal "The Passenger". Enjoy, won't you?

More goodness from Spine Milligna, the well known typing error

"I thought I'd start by singing one of Irvin Berlin's songs, but I thought,
why should I? He never sings any of mine! I'll sing "San Fransico" to get
it all going, right?. (sings) I left my heart in San Fransisco, I left
my knees in Old Peru, I left my little wooden leg somewhere in Winnipeg,
I left my wig in Darkland Zoo with you, I left my teeth on Table Mountain,
high on a hill, they smile at me! When I go back again to San Fransisco,
(all together) there won't be much left of me."
