Still think I haven't heard this one

It's tremendous. Arguably Pete's best solo stuff, and some of the most beautiful songs Ronnie Lane ever sang.

Anybody ever see that actual movie besides me? Clemenza?

i have not! is it good?

I've seen it; it's extremely well-done, and very moving in spots. I suspect even non-fans, or those unfamiliar with Lane, would dig it.

Oh, you mean Mahoney's Last Stand...nope.

xxpost It's been 30 years since I saw it, and the fractured narrative confused me at the time. (Maud Adams was hawt)
But HEY, apparently the whole movie's on youtube now!

Is it any good? I haven't listened to it yet (and unfortunately my needle has gone to shit so I can't listen to it at the moment)

Oh. That was a picture of Ronnie Lane's See Me LP from 1980 but doesn't seem to work for me.

How good would his health had been by then? I can't remember when he passed away.
― Raptain Chillips (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 12:34 (ten years ago) link
He died in 1997, but had been battling MS since at least 1976.
