According to iTunes I have listened the Grinderman album 40 times. I think I'm finally starting to figure it out. Or maybe not. It's a story, maybe a movie. Forty more times and I might have a better answer.
Regardless, the best line ever uttered over the top of a screaming guitar and pounding piano comes from Get It On . . . "he drank panther piss and fucked the girls you're probably married to". That is art.
It makes me think about all the machismo of the 70's cock rock (which I am well versed in thanks to small town roots) . . . Rober Plant might have thought about it and Ronnie James Dio might have actually done it but they never said it quite like this. Lovely.
