I guess that is why they called themselves The Kinks...
I suppose you friend would be equally shocked at Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side. I wonder how these two great songs (whatever you think of their content) managed to get played on the radio back in the day.
For me, the Wild Side was obvious after a few listens. Yeah. The Kinks. They probably had to hide that crap back then. Wish they still did. Speaking of wishing, what about the Pink in Pink Floyd ? Which ones Pink ? Never quite got that.
