I'd bet the Bus Boys probably have at least 1 good Rick James story.

― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 02:41 (six years ago)
Hmm. “I’ll Be Waiting.” Doesn’t sound like either of those songs, only commonality is the word “love” in the lyrics, but it does have some bubblegummy background vocals singing “papa-pom-mow-mow”!
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 02:51 (six years ago)
“Waiting for a taste of your love” is so Tap, so Brian Johnson I came across the chorus of “ let me put my love into you” earlier today and damn, dude doesn’t pull any punches.

Most if not all of that album appears to be on YouTube. Seems to fall between two stools, as is commented upon in Allmusic review- flashy guitar pyrotechnician forced into a New Wave straitjacket and strait-tie- but sounds pretty good.

Mick Fleetwood's Zoo: I'm Not Me

Oh man I looooooved "I'll Be Waiting" when it came out, and had completely forgotten about it in the intervening years. It reminds me of "Do Anything You Wanna Do" by Eddie and the Hot Rods. Both songs make me immediately want to do the pogo.

I'm Not Me is spot on: a solo-album-for-the-sake-of-it; horrible nothing title, horrible half-arsed cover.

Entwistle fired him after a US tour because Johnson kept doing Townshend stage moves during Ox shows.
