LOL! Yeah, I thought it was deep, too, for a while. Then I came down.

How about The Mighty Quinn?! E-freekingads. Ear bleeds.

I liked the Mighty Quinn, at least Manfed Mann's version. Dylan's takes blew major chunks. Of course I was a kid then so..

Anyway, I think it was the drum riff I liked. You know-


Come all without, (booboo boom)
come all within, (booboo boom)
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn!

Anybody mention Eve of Destruction?

Think that's bad? You might want to avoid hearing the song in German by the original artist.

It was quite common in the 1960s for English hits to be recorded for the German market by the original performers.

The first disc of this series by Bear Family includes cuts by Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys, Motown singers, and more (including The Mighty Quinn).

OK, you hit a hot button here. I was just thinking today that Manfred Mann should be made to live in Saddam's spider hole for the rest of his life. And, talk about butchering some of Springsteen's greatest stuff.
