    One of my happiest memories is meeting Ian Hunter at an in-store promotion for his first solo record. I told him that I thought his best stuff was as good as Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. I'll always remember that his eyes lit up and he said, "That's a *real* compliment!" You almost never get to thank your heroes, and I've always been glad I got to say thanks to Ian. For my money, "I Wish I Was Your Mother" is as good as any song to come out of rock and roll.

    I got to see Hunter the next year, too, when then-Cleveland Mayor Dennis Kucinich gave him the key to the city for "Cleveland Rocks." Kudos to Dennis - not every pol would have done that.

    Oh - and "Shrunken Heads" is a terrific album. Great to see it highlighted here.
