Great to hear the Avett Brothers, who have a few #1 hits in their repertoire, like the early-Beatles-as-bluegrass "Will You Return?"
Avatar #1 Hit Supporter Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 12:40pm
Gaylord Fields:

And then the Bobettes go on to shoot Mr. Lee — not once, but twice! What other group has the audacity to kill off the protagonist of its greatest hit?
  12:41pm
DG:

Speaking of bass, the bass player on "Mr. Lee" is legendary jazz player Milt Hinton (he apparently did lots of pop/rock sessions too). Curious about the sequel, "I Shot Mr. Lee"....jeez.
  12:43pm
clarke:

DG's factoid makes me think that the drummer on Mr. Lee could in fact be: benard purdie?? what do you think monsieur diken??
