More hooks than you can shake a stick at! Awesome song. Rarely do I fall for a track so immediately. Reminds me of the kind of feeling I got from Billy Joel’s “All About Soul” when I first heard it. Ringo plays with so much energy! “Silver Bugs” was funny – “Beatles” wouldn’t have scanned… I’ll buy this album. I love Mott the Hoople but haven’t paid any attention to Ian Hunter’s solo stuff. A friend brought his daughter to my house once and she looked *exactly* like him!
