"I Think She Likes Me" by Treat Her Right" is an answer I gave to Corny O'Connell's "Question of the Day" this morning on WFUV. "I Think She Likes Me" was the signature song of Treat Her Right, a band that preceded Morphine.

MADISON SMART BELL
"ANYTHING GOES"
Mastodon Post

This morning, WFUV's great Corny O'Connell asked a "Question of the Day" that called to mind the best rock and roll novel I have ever read, "Anything Goes" by Madison Smartt Bell (still in print when I checked a few weeks ago). It starts with an unsettling scene, to say the least, of Kurt Cobain's death. Yet, for admirers of Cobain's music, this scene could be the thing to draw them into reading the book.

"Anything Goes" is rich with clearly drawn characters and a carefully crafted plot. It is mainly about a long-struggling touring bar band. Very close to the end of the book and close to the end of a mostly Southern tour, in Springfield, Vermont, band members suddenly learned it was getting serious airplay.

After years of being nothing
They're all looking right at you.....

-- Lacy J. Dalton

A compact disc was recorded to promote the book. The CD was cleared for nothing else and you're not going to hear it on the radio or YouTube. It includes the best version of the novel's best song, "Anything Goes." I have not even the slightest doubt this song could be a big hit if it was gotten into the right hands. What one CAN do is play Bell's album with Wyn Cooper, "40 Words for Fear," and listen with imagination to "Anything Goes." Maybe imagine yourself singing it.

BtW, Wyn Cooper, mentioned here, had a major hit as lyricist for the song that launched Sheryl Crow's national career, "All I Wanna Do." It was Marlboro College's greatest hit.

THE BARBARIANS
"ARE YOU A BOY OR ARE YOU A GIRL"

Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl?

One of my favorite features on one of my favorite radio stations is Corny O'Connell's "Question of the Day" on WFUV out of New York City. This morning's question had to do with hair. My suggestion was "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl" by The Barbarians. "With your long blonde hair You look like a girl." It pleases me to say Corny went with it. This track never made the Billboard Top 40 but its memory outlived many records that did. The Barbarians laid some claim to being the first punk band. It definitely came with a garage punk quality. WFUV has a very large audience stretching through a big part of the United States and probably abroad. It is easy to access through its excellent mobile app.

The great Corny O'Connell played "Wanna Be Loved" by The Red Clay Strays as a new record this morning, July 4, 2024, on WFUV in New York City. The singer gets off some first rate Elvis Presley facial expressions.

WFUV, one of my very favorite music radio stations, has a fine mobile app.
