Robert Mitchum, "Ballad of Thunder Road"

yhbc - I haven't heard that since days of staying up late Friday night to listen Dr. Demento with the lights off and headphones on. Hee.

i haven't heard it in ages either--thanks!

and i can't wait to hear Mitchum sing???

posted by amberglow 19 March | 18:17

oh, the Mitchum's not horrible at all!

posted by amberglow 19 March | 18:26

a'course, this is the image that's ineradicably associated with that voice, now.

Is this schizoid paranoia or just Existential Blues?

Hell yes.

well, Mitchum's hot : >

wolfdog - thanks so much. I haven't heard that song in at least a decade (I also sat in the dark with headphones listening to Dr Demento). Even thought I hadn't heard it in ages I actuarately remembered in my head - which is sort of scary.

And I never thought of Thunder Road as a novelty song. For God's sake, does Robert Mitchum strike you as a guy that'd make a NOVELTY record?!?

yup--Mitchum had some very lean years.

Amberglow: Thank you! : ) We sang that song in chorus in 6th grade. : )
