God, I love this song. What a great rare version! This showed me Roky could really compete (a little) with Tommy in writing great lyrics. To let the world know immediately that there is no need for an end to the fattening… Roky, you’ve made my life so much better! RIP, brother!

Duane is easily one of best rock and roll guitarists ever.
