'WELCOME TO THE BOOMTOWN" DAVID + DAVID 1986 . . . . ONE HIT WONDER . . . . ??? THAT'S AS MAYBE I RECKON, I'D GIVE BOTH ARMS TO HAVE WRITTEN SOME SOCIAL OBSERVATION LIKE THIS . . . . I LIVE IN A BURG NOT UNLIKE A SCALED DOWN HOLLYWOOD . . . . FILLED TO THE GUNWHALES [PRONOUNCED GUNNELS] WITH PHONY, PHUCKED UP PHAKES AND SLIMY, LOW LIFE DEALERS AND STEALERS . . . . A FANTASTICALLY VIVID DESCENT INTO PERSONAL FAILURE AND FRIENDS SELF DESTRUCTION . . . . THEY WEREN'T NO PATRICK FUCKING HERNANDEZ !!!!

Pay attention to the lyrics, we all know a 'handsome Kevin', we've all seen a 'Miss Christina', chances are, if you're livin in a city like L.A or the Gold Coast, the Big Apple or Old London Town, you get to see it a bit more frequently and a little closer to home . . . . I always found it a hauntingly evocative tune and still do.

Occasionally, a 'one hit wonder' turns out to be a work of substance and significance, I believe that to be the case with the double David's 'Welcome to the Boomtown' . . . . don't sell yourself out !!!!
