Just in case it isn’t clear: the band is Kid With Man Head; the song is “Blue Skies (in a Bottle)”; the album is Cassius Coleman.
Yes, the best band ever does have the worst names and cover art. It’s like they were actively trying not to succeed.
In keeping with my tradition of being late to every party and trend, I only recently began listening to Spotify. I presumed it wouldn’t have much of the music I most enjoy. This was partially correct. But after using it for a few months I was sick of the randomness…

Maybe just ask next time instead of guessing? 🤷♂️
Anyway, your reward for reading all this is a particularly delicious taste of my favourite band. Obscure as they are you can listen to nearly their entire discography online. Bon appétit!

In the spirit of the season please enjoy this cover version of Elton John’s “Step into Christmas” (with almost completely different lyrics) performed by your favourite Oi! band, The Business.
You have a favourite Oi! band, right?

@HuxBear Haha! I thought you were going to say “both kinds of music: country and good”. Not that I’m biased or anything. I just have preferences…and taste. 😝
In sad news: the actor Gailard Sartain just passed away. As a kid he made me laugh and feel…other things. He was probably my first celebrity crush. His cherubic face and silliness were a sexy combination for me but I also appreciated his more dramatic roles. RIP big guy.
@HuxBear Hee Haw was a little before my time (sorry) but still it’s possible I saw him in reruns of that first. Not sure.
It’s funny, he’s most known for his comic characters but my most vivid memories are his dramatic roles (The Outsiders, Mississippi Burning, Fried Green Tomatoes).
@HuxBear I know! I just checked his IMDB entry: 80 acting credits between 1970-2005.
He appeared in many small roles but it was likely The Outsiders (photo above) in which I first saw him and instantly fell in love. I thought he was beautiful!
