The march of the lead guitarists continues. Thanks to those who commented and suggested. Most suggestions were implemented in some way. The video has a really, really bad running pun for those who are familiar with the era. Not a good one mind, just a running one. CRT Audio Master

You are always so entertaining, Ray. Love the video, too. Yes, great solo by David Smith, who sounds like a bandleader in the march. You and Bandi Nahbox make a terrific backup group.
Your videos are always very intriguing. I always wonder how you come to that. You have to be a bit 'special' to think of this. The same counts for your songs, strange, you love them or not, but only you can make them. And I like them. Not always for the melody, but they are very recognizable and actually also quite moving.
This song has all in it I just wrote. So, it's a good song!
Ray, very nice. I've always liked this song and thought the video was very good. Great ideas in both. I really liked the video portion you did with the lead guitar break. I don't have a clue about making videos, but I sure thought that was a neat effect.
Ray, Cool laid back tune! Neat vibe. One of your best vocals hands down and situated well in the mix. Mr.Smith worked out a perfect solo. Very smooth. Listened to this on different headphones. Excellent and artful mix/mastering. Good effort on video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks folks, The puns aren't great but exist. The most obvious is the use of images of TV related technology. A reference t o the influence. The 2nd is a double edged one of the generic term for those who speak/commentate/present news on television and another band from the CBGB's era who, along with Blondie, brightened the charts for a while. The pun is that there are none of what that generic term refers to in the video.

Like others, not sure I’m catching the puns . . . but no matter, because the tune is terrific and the video engaging. Really catchy, with great guitar hooks throughout—like that solo a ton! Vocal for me is just right and really complements the outstanding music bed. Killer work on this!
I agree with Floyd - very catchy, indeed! And, as Brad said, the video behind the lead guitar was great! That beat is a bit if an ear bug. And don't sell yourself too short on the vocals - perfect for this song. Cool song - cool video! what more could we ask for?
Puns only work when there is a strong cultural/linguistic commonality between the teller and the receiver. If you weren't watching/listening/reading about the prepunk music of NY from 76 to 80 you'd have Buckley's Chance, (another pun misunderstood by most Australians), of catching them. Sorry. I used to use a couple of puns, (visual or written), to start the school day in the 2010-16 era. It help illustrate the bias of the language & it's use PLUS working them out /explaining them expanded the vocabulary of everyone involved. It's something kids from eight to twelve lapped up. There's an additional "pun" based Led Zeppelin playing behind the last Dazed & (still) confused line:the actual vid is of them performing that song in C1970.

We already liked the song and the video is a fun accompaniment for it. It was a cool representation of the different tv technology thru the years and had us reminiscing.
And, hey, including footage of Led Zeppelin during the last “dazed and still confused” was a nice surprise.
Enjoyed it!
