Barf. I always thought that was one of the most boring, most talentless songs I’ve ever heard, esp. compared to the great music coming out at about that time from the Beatles, Beach Boys, Stones, Doors, and many others.

The very essence of rock and roll.

We always thought it was a little bit nasty talking about one being on top and one being “down there”. In the 1960’s we teens were always trying to find something sexy in a song.

? Mark played an outdoor concert at Lincoln Center this year. He even was joined onstage by Ronnie Spector.

Hear a 30 minute interview with ? and the show...

He claims that his song “Girl You Fascinate Me” was really about masturbation.

He’s kind of like Prince’s crazy uncle from Mars.

Mr. Mark has no kids that I know of. It’s not his way.

His house burned down some years back, he supposedly had one of Pink Floyd’s early keyboards.

I think it’s most of the same band he still plays with these days.

Listen to the radio link I gave from this year...

Not bad at all. Much better than this cover.

All those covers pretty much suck, like all covers of Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone.

Ok. Legend is the song was originally supposed to be titled “69 Tears”. But fearing the song would get limited airplay due to the “connotations” the title was changed to “96 Tears”.
