JANE WIEDLIN
Fur
1988 Canada pressing

Saturday morning breakfast with my favorite Go-Go.

This album on whole is VERY underrated.
“Rush Hour” has got to be one of my ten or so favorite songs from that entire decade.

I met Jane Wiedlin about fifteen years ago, and she was one of the more fun, unique and quirky people I’ve ever gotten the pleasure to meet.
Somewhere in my basement library (which is in dire need of organizational overhaul) is the “Rush Hour” 7” single she signed for me.

Such a fun album.

Relief of a genie protecting the palace of Ashurnasirpal II in Kalhu (present-day Nimrud in Iraq). Its divine status is evident from the bull horns on its head. It's unclear why this was a symbol of divinity, but the tradition was already over 1500 years old when this relief was made (884-859 BCE).
