I gather that he doesn't normally perform it when he does oldies shows, but he did at the request of the Stomp's organizers, and it was totally fab. I don't think Mr. Wood performs that often these days, but he was really terrific, so by all means catch him if you get the chance.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-42201150802053983462010-11-23T13:47:11.161-05:002010-11-23T13:47:11.161-05:00Good one!

I thought everyone knew that one. "Psychotic Reaction," however, is a different story.

I recall being pretty excited when I scored a copy of the album, as I was a fan of both artists, so of course I was dying to hear what Brenton Wood did with the song. Holy moley, nothing could have prepared me for what was waiting. For years, I'd break that out at parties just for the wtf factor.Secularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03904118702487422504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-29648832512275964322010-10-27T00:51:20.089-04:002010-10-27T00:51:20.089-04:00i had always thought he was saying something dirty...i had always thought he was saying something dirty too. but he spelled it out letter-by-letter when i spoke to him. as it appears here is straight from the horse's mouth!ariellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-74803747604985285272010-10-27T00:44:55.707-04:002010-10-27T00:44:55.707-04:00The jury is still out on what the hell he's sa...The jury is still out on what the hell he's saying...Ted Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975741901400619750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-69956508563188687742010-10-26T23:13:07.732-04:002010-10-26T23:13:07.732-04:00Ooga-ga-oosay?
