I'll never understand how "My Sharona" & "Good Girls Don't" made it past the censors of the time. |

I remember at the time a guy named Iian Fluckes was trying in the worst way to get Ovation to sponsor them in a big way, product and money.
We said no and he came right back and said we had to get behind the Bond guitar which had an equally star stubber ride up and as rapidly down.
I thik the third thing old Ian wanted us to get involved in was a Chardonnay winery. Might have been good but his two first strikes didn't let him in the door very far. Wanking Brit??? |

By the way, was there an endorsement problem with McCartney back in the 70's? |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I thought My Sharona was about a guy wanting to, and eventually, humpimg his friend's girlfriend.
A thouroughly generic, though classic, pop tune.
You can hear this immortalized in a muzac edition on the weather channel. |

Moderators, I respectfully request that this thread be CLOSED.. |
