Title: Estimate what percentage of Brian's waking hours...
Post by: Mr. Cohen on October 01, 2008, 02:33:08 PM
... have been spent playing "Shortenin' Bread" and "Proud Mary"? I would guess 5%.

How about the main drum line of "Be My Baby"?

maybe he has a constant loop of all the shortenin bread riffs from his songs: South America, HCWSBD, Metal beach, shortenin bread (BB, adult child, LA, Spring, 1980 version) etc.

I still think that he's never forgotten The Knack's "My Sharona"
The only hit I can think of that uses that Shortenin' Bread riff...

I bet every time CCR's "Proud Mary" comes on the classic rock station in his car, he rolls down the windows, sticks his head out and nods furiously while screaming at the top of his lungs.

He probably dreams about performing and listening to these songs as well, so add that to your guesstimates. Maybe Tina Turner's version crops up now and then. :o

That would've been perfect for the Black Cab Sessions.
