honey don’t
take it
back as far
as the blue suede country kid
crashing & cracking
his hopes & bones up in
a rampaging,clunky,caroming Cadillac
then
the ensuing self-saturation in booze
you only get the tragedy
but
there was more
that same loose limbed kidman
rising up afterwards
to salutations & kudos
from reverent,awe filled, Liverpudlians
& many,many millions of rockabilly appreciators
around
the world
& then thirty five fame filled years later
sensitive,artistic Beverly Hills Babs
in the director’s chair
using
his song as a cinematic soundtrack to
simulated sodomy
to help unveil a tale of
soulful redemption thru exorcising pain
(blue suede kidman knows all about exorcising pain)
it all goes to show that
if you ever think that one sooty,devastated Phoenix can’t
rave
rock
& fly again
you should stop & reconsider
-baby!
