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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Oh - and "Shrunken Heads" is a terrific album. Great to see it highlighted here.wwolfeWed, 30 Jan 2008 17:00:44 -0000
