Your Tuesday Moment of Why Isn't This Guy a Freaking Household World?
From 1990, please enjoy the genius that is Peter Blegvad and the greatest
story song ever written by anybody "King Strut."
I'm not kidding about this -- if there's a better song of its ilk than this, I
haven't heard it. And I've been around.
I should add that apart from being a brilliant songsmith, Blegvad is a hot guitarist -- that's him playing lead on the above, which should give you an idea -- and he's had a separate career
as...wait for it...a cartoonist.
Nobody should be allowed to be that talented,is what I'm getting at.
Took awhile, but figured out that it reminds me of this:

Even more reminiscent of another T Bone song

The guitar is gorgeous. And his voice reminds me of Lou Reed.
