A sad loss - Louie Louie is an iconic song.

I love the fact that the FBI could compile a report about the 'meaning' of the lyrics - because that was the mind set in the '50's, that this darn 'race music' was going to be the end of civilisation as we know it.

The government even managed to ban Link Wray's Rumble because they thought it was an incitement to bad behaviour, and that's an instrumental!!!

Wonder what they would have made of Public Enemy and Wu Tang Clan!!

Interesting. I wonder what my PYE International Advanced Promotion Copy with Haunted Castle on the B side would fetch.
