A Memory Thread ~ After the Glitter Fades

[mitzo]

I was back home for summer from graduate school at university and in a funk when BD came out. I grabbed it up and was disappointed at first listen and recall ATGF being the brightest tune on the album at that point. It and Edge of 17 were basically it for me from BD. Interestingly, years later when visiting Bonn, Germany, of all places, a street busker was singing ATGF and I threw a mark (this was early '90's) into his hat!

I found that to be extremely humorous!

wow...its funny! the first time i recall hearing this, which was prob summer 1982...i never thought it was a country song or country sounding... i just thought that Stevie's voice over the guitar and piano and that "drum beat" were AMAZING!! and thats how i still feel.
