Senses of shame: CHAKA KHAN – “I Feel For You”
Read post

Is it because she is blind that she feels for me? Or that the lights are off? Either way the last thing I want is a woman with scary hair groping me up and down. Especially if she is then going to drag along fellow blind man Stevie Wonder on harmonic[…]

SENSES OF SHAME – Smells Like Teen Spirit
In 1991 rock was at its lowest ever ebb. Forget the ironic reappraisal of hair metal: it stank. Little did I know things would soon get even worse. The title of “Smells like Teen Spirit” com[…]

You needed a good Imagination to believe that SOMEone like Belouise Some could even have a pop career. Especially if you consider the lyrics to this, his biggest hits.
