It seems more than just a song but a soundscape due to its atmospheric feel and vibe. I also love that it was the initial inspiration for the Rutger Hauer horror film THE HITCHER.

May seem like a strange time to get into them, but maybe not as they had that certain aura which set them apart from stuff that frankly bored me to tears before Lydon and his boys assaulted the airwaves. For me, bands like Velvet Underground, The Doors and Patti Smith made great - at times dangerous - music and this is one of my favourite tracks.<br />Have a great weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-73535934787094686312010-10-15T11:13:29.000-07:002010-10-15T11:13:29.000-07:00"Musical crime fiction."
