The Jayhawks - Big Star (Audio & Lyrics) video free download
From "Sound of Lies".
I'm flat-busted, wild-eyed and free
I couldn't get arrested if I tried
A has-been at a mere thirty-five
Straight, honest, forthright and true
Great expectations for someone
Doesn't anybody know how to have fun
But Im gonna be Big Star
Im gonna be a Big Star someday
Im gonna be a Big Star someday
Grapes bitter, Im no quitter
Revolutions come one by one
Seems its high noon and I aint got no gun
But it so hard, so hard
So hard getting by
Gonna be Big Star
Im gonna be a Big Star someday
Im gonna be a Big Star someday
Fine bourbon, Cuban cigars
Rude remarks observed in the C.C.Bar
Im perfecting the finest art of wasting hour
But Im gonna be Big Star
Im gonna be a Big Star someday
Im gonna be a Big Star
Im gonna be a Big Star someday

@donbucho I think it's a tribute to Big Star because the Jayhawks were influenced by the former Alex Chilton band. Besides, Gary Louris played with one of their members in the supergroup Golden Smog.13 years ago

Think about it and listen: The Gin Blossoms collaborate with Teenage Fanclub. Both have major Big Star influences, but very unique in their own way. This is good.14 years ago

@audstu1 I didn't think so. However, they did have a professional connection (via Golden Smog, which included Jody Stephens). They also opened for Alex Chilton early on in their career, performed with him during Taste of MN, etc. So, I guess what I'm saying is I don't know if I'd call it a tribute per se, but the title of the song is no coincidence, in my opinion. A has-been at a mere 35, etc... Just seems appropriate. And a great song, nonetheless. Anyway, RIP Alex14 years ago
