about

Bobby Fuller was a rocker and so was this song… originally. Hey, the Motorbikes were rockers too. So how did we mess this one up and make it a kissy pop song? What happened, huh? Well, after years of not liking this version, I'm changing my mind. The lyrics are a real heartbreak. Very blue. This take brings out that feeling in a way that maybe Bobby was trying to mask over. "Oh gosh, the guy's a romantic at heart!" A romantic with his foot to the floor and a real lust to rock! BFF 4-ever!

about

Charlie Chesterman Boston, Massachusetts

The late, great CHARLIE CHESTERMAN brought punk to the plains with THE LAW, sowed the seeds of alt-country and roots-pop in SCRUFFY THE CAT, and blended twang & tenderness with humor & heartache in HARMONY ROCKETS and CHAZ & THE MOTORBIKES.

He was a tremendous talent and a wonderful human being.

We miss you Charlie. Thanks for leaving us with all this great music.
