i love how his voice can't quite hit that note in the chorus.

oh, i forgot to mention the cowbell with wah (or whatever it is) in ....shit i can't remember.. i thik its "Can't get enough of your love" i might be wrong...i juist remember the 'cowbell with wah goes like "chachachachachachacha-cha" while getting higher pitched....

That's okay. I only put it because I'm on heroin.

Wild Horses, on the radio in 1971. Me, 16. I bought the single, bought the album, and knew I had to have an acoustic guitar. I learned the song and have played it so much I know it inside out and upside down and across the fifth dimension. Something about that song still gets me deep inside.

if the pumpkins did a sex pistols cover i'm going to personally go over to courtney love's house (where corgan is living) and kick his ass.
