about

“Let’s make a video for this track,” Simmons said. “Strap this Go-Pro to your head while you’re recording,” he said. The Go-Pro crapped out after about 30 seconds due to a dead battery, but we didn’t know it until I unstrapped it from my slightly dented skull four or five takes later. The song – which featured contributions from Nicole Kubis, Susan West and Patrick McGrath (on toy piano!) – is a pretty faithful version of Walter Egan’s ‘70s hit. We recorded it for the Drink a Toast to Innocence compilation, which celebrated “lite rock” of the ‘70s. My skull is still recovering.
