    On Your Feet Or On Your Knees ...

    Or give it up for the shortest band of hard rockers this side of the Killer Dwarfs (yeah, who remembers them ...).

    Here are a couple of vids - the first I love because of the following:

    a) the song - great Buck Dharma tune
    b) all the guys in the band are wearing skinny jeans and white trainers, so you know it must be circa 1981
    c) the spurned dude setting himself on fire in his car, which I could only imagine as a BOC vision of love (he's 'Burnin' for You', girl ...)
    d) the dude who sets himself on fire is (unless my eyesight fails me) is Detective Harry Garibaldi from Hill Street Blues
    d) the girl he is burning for, at 1:48. Looks like she would burn your house down if you messed with her ...
    e) Those mutant 'Gibson' Explorer / Flying V guitars that Buck Dharma and Allen Lanier are playing.



    From around the same time, ETI (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), live from Florida:



    ... and ... they always gave Patti Smith at least one co-write on each album back in the mid-70s up to the early 80s:

    Yeah - the dude is on fire in 'Burnin' for You', a song from the album Fire of Unknown Origin; cities on flame with rock and roll in ... 'Cities on Flame', and then there's the fucking 'Flaming Telepaths' ...



    I see a theme emerging here ... hell beckons!

    I can't figure out how the live version of ETI didn't make the greatest hits album.

    In the late 90s they released a song called I'm Still Burning. The studio version is pretty cool, but live the song absolutely kicks ass.

    I met Buck Dharma when they were in Wichita for a club gig. They had been playing the song for 2 years, but had not released it on an album yet.

    He was in a really bad mood that afternoon. I said

    "Excuse me sir, I love your work."

    "Thanks" *looked pissed off*

    "Any chance I'm Still Burning will be released on an album soon? It kicks total ass!"

    "Uhmmm....maybe....I don't know" *walked away without saying anything further*.

    It was still early....I decided to go for a walk, and think about my less-than-great experience meeting him was.

    They played to about 100 people in a club that held about 150 that night.

    Oh how the Mighty had fallen. Good show.

    Never saw them again.

    Oh well. Can't blame him for being grumpy. Probably just caught him at a bad moment.
