Story about this misheard lyric by: Buckeye Scott This tune is an 1988 cover of a '50s Buddy Holly hit. It's on the soundtrack for the 1988 flick "Cocktail" which stars Tom Cruise. I heard it on the radio and it sounded like JCM was referring to Stevie Ray Vaughn, whom I had seen live in concert in California the year before. |

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:
"Soul Godfather Imitation"
When I saw John "Hoosier" Mellencamp live at the Palace Theater last year at the end of the main set (as in before the encores) an assistant placed a bluish-purple cape-cloak on John's shoulders a la James Brown. Note that in his video for the 1981 hit "Ain't Even Done With the Night" he also wears a cape and keeps "escaping" from it so he could grab the mic stand and sing another verse, also in emulation of Soul Brother Number One.
