Listening notes

Dad always liked the title track, of course he thought it was about him delivering newspapers...

All I really know is there is some Bowie influence

This type of rock with the clean guitar with some chorus I always attribute to more of what I thought was an 80s sound, but it is most definitely a 70s sound - just seems like it wasn't on the radio as much

"Momma's Little Jewel" is more bluesy, I love the guitar sound, piano is great, just really great all around

"Sucker" - little Clashish - like Wrong em Boyo or something

"Jerkin' Crocus" sounds a little dirty, kind of Stones influenced

Ready For Love cover (I think)

Oh yeah, the creepiness in Juno
