Rush had THREE versions of this song as updates. Gore’s was the original feminist update. The Blow Monkey’s version was the original homo update, and of course Nomi’s version.

I loved the updates.

I even went out and bought Gene Autry’s greatest hits on the strength of “Back in the Saddle Again.”

Love this.

And thought it could be a great anti-Clinton song back in the day.

Or just anti-Dem.

Sadly, on a personal note, she chose the darkness of the homosexual lifestyle - not sure if she saw the light before she died.

I had never heard of The Blow Monkeys before.
Now I need some ear bleach.

Ping thanks :-)

She did have a voice and this is one of my favorites. Leslie was a reminder of Brenda Lee with a voice not as strong as Lee’s. Perhaps it was her stature and height.

And years later it was found Leslie had been cloned with the name of Gillian Anderson who became involved with the X Files. Scully always reminded me of Leslie Gore in appearance. :-)

I never made that connection before, but after hearing you say that, I agree completely. They could be long lost sisters.

She lived with her partner 33 years. It’s not so much the dark side these days.

I bought the 45 of "Ain't Got No Home" for the same reason. I always thought the Speedy Gonzales (Why Doncha Come Home) would have made a great illegal alien update.

Trivia question: begore Rush made Back in the Saddle Again his AIDS update theme, he held a listener poll with another song to pick a theme. What was the other song?

Well, certainly to God it has always been AND will always be the dark side.

Until a human has more perfect wisdom than God, I’ll refer to Him for what is satanic darkness.

You’ll have to tell me.

The only poll I remember from back then was the one by the US Post Office for the Elvis stamp — young Elvis or Vegas Elvis. (I voted for Vegas Elvis. Young Elvis won.)
