ome guy made his first radio cut with a song about dairy queen, chilidogs, and getting frisky behind a tree.
that is supposed to be intellectually superior?
True, but he did have a few before that.
Actually Hurts So Good was his breakout hit. Jack and Dianne was the follow up. The first hit song he wrote was I Need A Lover That Won’t Drive Me Crazy - but it was Pat Benatar that made it a hit. Until then it was just a popular Cougar album cut on the alternative college radio band.
