The latest release from Australian country-outlaw
rockers The Re-mains is a live recording from a May 2006 show..
Nestled amongst the good-time celebrations is the mid-tempo...
bitter-sweet...Gram Parson's country-style tune...You Look Like Keith Richards



You look like Keith Richards
You like to whisper so you don’t show any pain
You belong on a 747
You owe all your good looks to cigarettes and cocaine
Hope you’re feeling kinda sea-sick
Hope you’re feeling kinda low
Hope you got your things together
When ya ready you can go

You Look Like Keith Richards written by Mick Daley-lead singer/acoustic guitar

Cool

hm. hope it's cool, but from what Rockman's shared of it here
it sounds mean-spirited.

It's actually quiet a catchy tune...and from
the way the lyrics read is about a hard living guy...

The show was the retirement/final gig for their banjo player
Uncle Burnin' Love....So at a rough guess maybe it's a farewell to the Uncle..?

Let's be honest. Those lyrics are PROFOUND.

... so there is someting' goin' on down there....

Always something rattlin' down here man...



ROCKMAN

Speakin of nothin in particular;
I want the new tour leg this summer to have this name

CRASH BOX LUST TOUR 2007

It brings thought associations about cocoa palm tree crashes
& also carries resemblances with "Bang", "Bigger Bang"...

Whatcha sayin', aussie rocker?

Yeah Bro...NOW that'd be a deal now wouldn't it...



ROCKMAN

Thanks Rockman - i'll check it out, when i'm in your part of the world,
next week.

I thought that was a thread to all of us who go thru life hearing that line over and over. Been told that a million times.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

i saw a clip of the 60s TV show "Batman" and the penguin reminded me a little of keith...just for a second...

I saw the title and just wanted to reply: 'no, I don't'.

Yesterday I saw a schoolkid on our national television. The item was about being 'hip' or not, clothing for schoolkids. This guy was about 16/17 years old and had his hair like Mick in the sixties, and his clothing was retro/seveties. He said he didn't want to look like anybody but I thought: you certainly didn't succeed... ;-)

Anyway, good for the kid, he could have looked worse I guess.

enjoyable cd- picked it up on my recent Oz trip.
love the Keith Richards song..it also namechecks Bernard Fanning

do they play shows in your area ,regularily, Rockman?

Adrian....they occasionally play Melbourne area
but they are based in New South Wales. Have had some
correspondance with singer/guitarist Mick Daley and he
mentioned that the line... you Look Like Keith Richards stems from
people often telling him that he looks like someone else all the time...



ROCKMAN

thanks Rockman
