RIP Thommy.

You were the drummer on the biggest one hit wonder and iconic song of the 80's.

Drummers don't get the credit they are due.

I saw JJ & The Blackhearts in Nov. 1980 and Feb. ‘81, both shows at Tommy’s Deep South Music Hall in Tallahassee FL.

The first show featured Jett opening for Iggy Pop. At the second show she announced a new song (for the Blackhearts) that would be on their upcoming album, ‘I Love Rock & Roll’. Great cover of that song, and she put on two very good shows. That whole generation of musicians are slowly fading away.

One hit wonder? Tell that to all her gold records. She's also performed four USO tours, which buys her her way into my black heart.

I saw her a few years ago
. The only Woodson was I love rock and roll. It didn’t help that she’s a diabetic and had a sugar drop during her performance.

That one hit wonder pushed sex with minors (the same for the original Arrows version of the song).

I knew he must have been about 17. Said I'll take you home. Where we can be aloooooonnnee.
