RE: The Classics Never Die - Dr Hook
The group, Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, wasn't very well known but they came out with a few hits. I'm surprised they play their songs "down under".
Cover of the Rolling Stone - It's a wonderful fun song which I love - a full satire on the music industry back in the 60's and early 70's.
And after the song became a hit, the Rolling Stone magazine, in fun, spoofed the band by putting their cartoon caricature on the cover of the magazine and called them the "What's-Their-Names Make the Cover". For every other band they would put their photograph and name. So a good time was had by all.
Yeah I didn't think they were a huge name.
We have a radio station here in Adelaide which plays all the classics and Dr Hook's Beautiful Woman gets played sometimes.
I never realized that trivia about the Cover of the Rolling Stone song.
That's pretty cool that they did the cover like that :)
