Mott The Hoople

IMHO, Margo Timmins does "Sweet Jane" better than anyone. I am, of course, in love with her so maybe that is clouding my judgement...nah, she nails it!

Margo's version closer to Reed's than Hunters. Originally lyrics started "Jack is in his vest, Jane is in her corset.." but it changed to "Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest.." to reflect the wild side of rock n roll. Mott's "All the Young Dudes" was a EPIC LP amongst my coterie of friends near and far, and wherever I roamed in my young life, from Alex Cooley's, to CBGB's, to hanging with chums in front of the Melkweg before the show - Mott's Sweet Jane was loved buy one and all. Reed's Heroin and Hunter's Sweet Jane really captured the adrenalin and angst of rock and roll lives that many understood (for better and worse).

Hey, you were in De Melkweg? Encounter of the Third Kind.
