Frankie seems to have cheered up a little since his previous hit and it sounds like he's having a ball (with his crazy pals in tow). If I was Joe I wouldn't trust this bunch, and I think I'd be grabbing my girl and catching the nearest stagecoach outta town.

Wouldn't it have been great if it had been, though? No, nothing to do with the other “Hey Joe” with the other “wild solo.” Wouldn’t it have been great if it had been, though?

This is one of the most fun things I've discovered poking back through the pre-Beatles era on this thing. Alternately swaggering, sweaty, and desperate, with humor that resonates. I can relate to the people who made this a hit. They seem like real people and not strange curiousities from a previous universe. I'd also like to think of this as some sort of flipside to, say, "Wedding Bells" - now the old gang of buddies is breaking up, but not so much because of weddings but because of an effort to break one up.
