2 x THROWBACK THURSDAY
...influenced by the passing of BOWIE, I found myself looking back to the year 1997 & a track called // The Drugs Don't Work // by English rock band
:: THE VERVE ::
...written by lead singer // Richard Ashcroft // about his father who died of cancer when he was 11 years old, it went on to become the group's only UK number 1 hit, released the day after Princess Diana's death in a fatal car crash in a Paris underpass, reflecting the grief of a nation prior to the release of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind", followed by something more recent by American hip-hop music producer // James Anthony Simon // better known as
:: BLOCKHEAD ::
...and the title track from his 2009 album // The Music Scene // with a trippy art video that modernizes psychedelia with sufficient surreality to make Dali proud ...song's not bad either
...Njoy
