In my lifelong search for bands that combine power and humor, J. Geils Band was one of the best. Love Stinks, Rage in the Cage, Houseparty, Insane Insane Again.... J Geils was the s.h.i.t.
Lately, my 3 year old has been stuck on Freeze Frame of all the random songs in the world. he loves the music video. RIP J Geils.
Another sad day for rock and roll. J. Geils and his band got together in 1967, believe it or not. They were mainly a blues rock band during the 1970's, becoming something a little different later. I always loved their concerts, headlining or not. Here's a sample from 1972. They're playing at Holy Cross:
Oh wow. Centerfold was one of the bigger hits of the 80's... I used to play the crap outta that song.
LOL every time I hear this song now I think of a girl from my high school - She was 2yrs older than me and she was the hottest girl in school - Then she showed up on some late night Cinemax shows in the early 2000's.
