Had to look up George Kooymans. Guitarist for Golden Earring. Radar Love was a great song. Really nice guitar work.
Yeah, me too; I knew I knew the name, I just had no idea where from.
When I was driving from my college in IL to my then-GF's university in OH in my Spitfire (perhaps on occasion with my old pal Bennie co-driving, to make the parallel complete.........), "Radar Love" seemed to always come on the radio about 01:00 just as I crossed the IN-OH line ("No more speed, I'm almost there!").
I mean, every time! Love that song.

That's okay; Billy Sherwood is a multi-instrumentalist and is multi-talented, so it's okay if he gets two days in a row since he frequently shows up doing two or more jobs on the same album.

It's unfortunate that many would have to look up Sister Rosetta Tharpe, an unsung original creator of rock 'n roll. Here's one of her tunes. Swing over to the "What Are You Listening To Now" thread where I just posted a one hour documentary on the Sister.

I'll try, anyway. Best breakup song is actually two as there are two perspectives of breakups, the dumper's and the dumpee's. From the dumpee's perspective, the greatest breakup song is (perish the thought) the Eagles "Wasted Time". As for the dumper's point of view, the greatest breakup song has to be Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover".
Now discuss it amongst yourselves. I'm ferklempt.

And I recall seeing ads for him in the title role for a biopic on Django; alas, never came across the flick.
Seems he's got some range......
