Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a good one in the awful way of a pun. Claim it!
Most of his big hits happened before I got into rock and roll ...but I was aware of him , being a fellow Nutmegger from down the road in Willimantic ...I bought a double record greatest hits set of his years ago , and am playing it now here in my humble Japanese home in the Kyushu boondocks ...Town Without Pity one of my all time fave songs ...RIP Gene ...
