Betty Blue eats Batman alive, she's crazy!

About Me

The Tonights .....always, of course - Old century, new century, fin de siecle – Everywhere - Silken weave, shock hail - Brute force, riffs for the mature gent – Crashing tins skip a beat in cat-ridden alley-ways – Malevolent six-strings slung in Red Roma dust – Hot fingers, skin, fingerprints howl like Banshees on freshly purchased bass-gut – Hepburn, Monroe, Hayworth, stardom – Fanfare for the Common Soul – Shirley Temple tip-toes light on laryngeal ice – Tap-Dogs meow in mesmeric accord - Misty Mountain bops - Ethereal riffmania swallowed whole with salt - Blind-corner car crashes - Betty Blue eats Batman alive, she’s crazy - Blood and Razors in the morning – Superconductors collide on Nowhere Street – Coins crunch sonic on a rancid railway track - Sputniks in Space, twinkle twinkle Supernova Star - 70s Vampire Babes, she has my neck and I love it – of course, always… The Tonights.
