Love how Bruce would pan the instruments on the Love albums. Very cool interview

[@fmyou62]

My Little Red Book -- maybe punk, maybe not, but Seven and Seven Is is proto-hardcore, and that single made the Top 40. The Benny Goodman hearing Love story is priceless. Glad this interview exists!

I wish this interview was more informative - but it seemed to me to be just eight minutes of rambling. Of course, Bruce Botnick's credentials speak for themselves, so no disrespect towards him - perhaps Andrew could have had better questions… It's really misleading to call "My Little Red Book" "punk - ten years ahead of it's time" as if this song was some stroke-of-genius creation by Love. Of course, it's a Burt Bacharach-Hal David tune, and the only thing "punk" about the song is the crude, choppy rhythmic feel of Love's version, and there's nothing novel there either - lots of surf music from a few years earlier had a similar rhythmic feel. The story I have heard is that Burt Bacharach hated Love's treatment of his tune and made it known. It seems that Arthur Lee took that as a challenge to REALLY piss him off - taking the song title "A House Is Not a Home'" and coming up with "A House Is Not a Motel" - stream-of-conscienceness insanity.
Perhaps the recording of "Live and Let Live" could have been mentioned…
