Title: What Do They Take Me For
Post by: Ron D Bowes on July 14, 2023, 06:28:12 AM
You know when you see those magazine and newspaper photos of some small ugly rich geezer with a stunning blonde on his arm? This is a song from his perspective. Another rock and roller that might make it to the new album. I deliberately wanted to have a sudden slow down - to subvert expectations.

Here again Ron with a great rockin' track and what a ripper! Yeah, we've all seen those photos of the rich dudes with the gold-diggers clinging close to them. Love the lyrical content of this song and ace production.

money can't buy love but it can buy some lovely young thing.... the story is familiar...

but it usually isn't told in this media... I love the way this thing rolls along...almost like AC/DC but more British... very cool...

I like the slow down...  the lyrics are fun... sugar daddy.... wow... this song turns upside down...

lyrically etc... a big turn...

fine, fine rock and roll

if you wanna rock turn onto the Ron Bowes channel.... it won't be long and you'll be skipping, bouncing, rocking, and dancing... maybe even swearing!

but as far as the dude with money... they can't buy what ain't for sale so as long as people want to market themselves this way it shall be...

commodity .... commod tity.... commod titties.... titties.... tunes....titty tunes... titties and brews tunes... brews tunes....

A great rocker Ron and I dig your guitar playing! I guess if I was filthy rich there might be a blonde on my arm but alas, I'm just filty so no go, lol! The bluesy, middle slow down and the narration works well. Cool words and vocals.

Unrelenting rock n roller! Great snearing vocal and catchy guitar parts. I love that that little dirty slow down part, it really adds great dynamics to this. Sweet RnR!

I'm getting gradually uglier to attract more chicks. It must be the dad bod and extra blubber that gets all the girls as i'm already rich in weirdness...

A bold rocker with lots of stuff going for it. Quirky lyrics, playful playing and potent vocal stylings.

Proper cool tune Ron. Just rocks like a good un. A lovely observation with some cool lyrics. Love the slowed down bit with that great spoken part... very creepy :) great rocker  8)
