I always loved the lyrics on this song. Vampires on Ventura Blvd?! And a beautiful Southern Cal video.
Gonna leave this world for a while.

Gah! Maddie! Thank you. I had to stop the video and will watch again. Wasn't it soo much fun to see him live.
I can't explain it with words.
Think he pointed a guitar my way once. Wholesome fun for all.
Admittedly my first reaction on seeing the report was exactly as with Michael Jackson: That's not funny and HAS to be fake!
As in Michael's case, a coroner's inquest is underway.
Was he alone when he had the cardiac arrest? Being that he is high profile and perhaps he was alone, they have to look into it. Unattended events that lead to death always take an extra look.

I think this refers to the goth kids who hang out there. Well, at least when the song was written. Not sure if that's still a "scene" these days.I always loved the lyrics on this song. Vampires on Ventura Blvd?! And a beautiful Southern Cal video.

Does ayone know why his last album with Heartbreakers was called Hypnotic Eye? There is no such song title, nor a lyric. What does it refer to?
that and maybe the "vampires" who prey on those young kids -- scam artists, pimps. I have no idea what Ventura Blvd. users look like or the clientele that hang out there. Just throwing that out there.I think this refers to the goth kids who hang out there.
I believe one of the Heartbreakers ended up marrying the girl that played Alice in the video.I always felt the one song that had a very different sound from the rest was Don't Come Around Here No More, co-written with David Stewart (Eurythmics). I remember that video, inspired by Alice in Wonderland, was a lot on MTV here, way more than any of his other videos it seemed.

Apart from that he also did a reggae song, which doesn't sound like his other stuff, called Don't Pull Me Over. It's on Mojo.

You are correct... apparently Stan Lynch, drummer in the Heartbreakers, didn’t marry her.
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
But if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day
Not gonna lie: this hurt's gonna take a while for me to get over. I can actually point to specific times of my life based on some of Tom's songs. I'll always miss you, man.
