Paid more attention after, of course, Blue Velvet. From there I dug backwards to find out Nick Cave didn't do Running Scared originally and there's tons of great stuff. Found a bunch of rockabilly kids in college and they loved him like they loved Link Wray.

Nick Cave's Running Scared has the woman, if I hear it right, walking out on him instead of returning. Guess the girl returning just wouldn't fit his image.

Link Wray has played in Denver a couple times in the last 6 months or so. i haven't got off my ass to go....but he's still around.
