Louie Louie!

Do you get the feeling that song writing is a lost art? That most records these days sound like they were written by computers? Precise, calculated, no soul, no emotion. Boring. Boring. Boring! Well come to the Underground Garage this week. We are celebrating the greatest rock n' roll record of all time and coolest book. That's right. "Louie Louie" baby! It's a frat rock party with the Kingsmen, the Kinks, the Premiers, Swingin' Medallions, the Rascals, new music from the Rainy Day Saints, Sahara Hotnights, High School Sweethearts, Reigning Sound, the Priests, the Cocktail Slippers. Find out what Joan Jett, Dave Clark, Gary US Bonds, and Mitch Ryder have in common. Find out why the record was investigated by the F.B.I. Find out why J. Edgar Hoover wore a dress. Find out how dirty those lyrics were. It's "Louie Louie," baby; this week, in the Underground Garage.
