Total Control

I was writing to a friend tonight and Martha Davis
and the Motels were on the itunes and I was just
thinking that song may be almost as close to perfect
as any.
It reminded me I saw this documentary on MTV a little while back. It was part of a series where they put bands back together, and this one I saw featured the Motels. Martha Davis and the Motels. Josie swore she had never heard Total Control. So I played it and I got weepy and she still hadn't heard it.
Martha Davis now is old and big, a bit dinged up. But unbelievably charismatic. That song was forever associated for me with sixth form and now it is forever associated with walking along rue Vernier. I have work to do on 'forever'.
Were Daniel Barnes not an all-round good guy, he would deserve a good spanking for putting it in a Subaru ad, even if the ad is for the smartest car you can buy.
