Sitting at the rack at Devil’s Point, watching cute, petite, energetic, tattooed Stormy rocket around the stage in a fishnet body stocking underneath a bikini emblazoned with skulls, I half-listened to the music. Nodding my head in time to the electronic beat and the goofy lyrics, I had that flash of recognition. I knew this song!
When Stormy came over to dance for me, I said, “This song is from Velvet Goldmine, isn’t it?”
“It’s Brian Eno. I think Brian Eno was around before Velvet Goldmine!” She laughed and her tone was playful, but a bit condescending.
I laughed, but I thought to myself, Was Brian Eno involved in that movie? I didn’t think so, but…
