DOUG FIEGER RIP



GET THE KNACK

Remember this LP?

Power pop/rock, tightly arranged with great harmonies and lascivious lyrics that seemed a perfect match for the leering gentleman who sang them.

Doug Fieger succumbed to cancer yesterday at age 57.

This album has been in my collection for 30 years. It really doesn't seem that long ago. "My Sharona" was all over the radio and The Knack were poised for big things. The Beatles with a dirty mind.

Here's one for the road.
