Jim Colbert Origins: Bikers of England- who did it? (10) RE: Origins: Bikers of England- who did it? 19 Mar 03


YES- It was Steve Hunt. Seeing the name brought it back. So, uh, anyone got contact info for Steve? What's his story? I heard about the song several years back when I was writing a column for FSSNOC, a "thumper"-based motorcycle club here in the states. It's kind of odd that there aren't more good motorcycle songs, y'know? Thompson, Wilcox's Eye of the Hurricane and Gene Clark's Gypsy rider come to mind. I guess you can throw in Woody and Arlo too. I want Richard Shindell to write a motorcycle song!

And Jon, I think from the brief bit of lyrics I had read that he did consider that era the glory days- although admittedly that's my description, not his. Now, goal #2, to find Steve!

Thanks!

Jim
