[@susanjensby-tw4bu]

Was married 24 years before I was a widow. Love Loudon. Like Rufus too

Loved his work since late eighties, wish I’d seen him live…

[@pikiwiki]

I think I got sunburn from the blistering honesty of this song

[@Ryansterlingmusicaus]

I've watched this many times. How it doesn't have 9000 views yet is beyond me. So much passion . Far out.

[@bigfnrab]

It's got 20 thousand views now.

My absolute all time favourite song by Loudon or anybody ever. Saw him on the end of Southsea pier in concert playing this some years ago. My hero.

[@constancewalsh3646]

"There Will Be Rainbows" bio of Rufus by Kirk Lake brought me here. Why wasn't this musical, lyrical giant more famous? just wasn't his time. But he gave us Rufus, and youtube gives us him. Merci, RTS!

The atmosphere is so nostalgic.

[@glenwhite4494]

Brilliant! Totally Brilliant!

[@strace67]

always thought this was an Alex Chilton song. brilliant

[@cauthoncrazy]

Oh this could totally be an AC song, you're right!

[@mrenid7184]

This is the only song I ever learned to play properly on guitar!

He is incredible. I wish they had a different director though. That shot from the side was killing me

holy crap

well said! what a performance

[@mustlovepretzels]

French tv show hosts. Good song. Cheers!

[@Derviiiche]

It's actually Swiss TV :) Unfortunately I don't see any French TV channel from that time inviting a great musician like Loudon to play live...

[@poorpaddy7803]

@@Derviiiche No 'Les Enfants du Rock' on TV in France at that time ? His particular genius was too lyric based for the bland 'playback' shite they usually show on French TV I suppose.... Great capture of him/this song by the Swiss - despite the feedback at the start

Well , they can't all be " Like a Rolling Stone " .

[@picklefortheknowingones]

I love this song but is it not about a rock star sleeping with an underage groupie? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the lyrics
