The rollin' Coasters

I feel the need for something out of left field. I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm thinking all I'm saying about politics and stuff needs to be leavened with a little pure entertainment. Now. It is well known that I "Just Can't Get Enough" of New Wave Hits of the '80s.

But did you know that I also have a love for '50s and '60s recording artists The Coasters?

This is their 1958 single, "Sorry But I'm Gonna Have To Pass."



According to the liner notes of the compilation I have, this song was originally written for Johnny Cash (or at least, with Cash in mind as a model). You can totally hear it.
