Paul Rothchild apparently hates L.A. Woman - he loves 'Riders' and the title song, but he said the rest of the album is total garbage. This interview with Rothchild is very insightful:
http://archives.waiting-forthe-sun.net/Pages/Interviews/OtherInterviews/rothchild_bam.htmlI love L.A. Woman (album) - 'Cars Hiss By My Window', 'The WASP', and definitely the two you mentioned. What a great trip that album.
Thanks for posting that clip. Damn, I wonder what it was like for them to perform without Jim so soon after he passed.
Strange Days is full of so many moments of instrumental/vocal/lyrical genius that I disregard the dour mood of the album. It is pretty depressing, but easily overlooked by me.
