Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Got To Get Back Down To Florida

Okay, why has no one told me about Wayne Cochran? How is it possible that I did not know about this man before now? One of you knew about Wayne Cochran; why would you keep this information to yourself?

How dare you fuckers treat me like this?

    Caught him on TV (probably The Jackie Gleason Show) as a kid and had literally never seen anything like him. He was, you know, like a Martian. Or car wreck. Or James Brown; you could not take your eyes off him.

    According to Wiki, Cochran “retired from music to become a minister and evangelist in Miami, Florida.” Which makes perfect sense.

        In addition to the first time I’d heard learics to “Can’t turn you loose ” he also did CC Rider for the opening titles. I kinda loved this movie. At 11:30 on Sunday night you might get to see a booby if you stayed up for the late show. Sometimes the music was so good that you didn’t mind.
