When the world falls apart

It's true: when the world falls apart, like mine did recently, some things stay in place. Music is always there.
Levi Stubb's tears fall down his face. When it's over, and if you're still around, you can play your Four Tops tape, and then put it back in its place.

 Here's one of the records where the tears flowed:

Name checked by legendary rock savant David Johansen in the best New York Dolls song the Dolls never recorded. Heartbreaking. Like all the great Dolls songs, "Frenchette" is hard rock that assumes the search for good times can never be separated from great pain. From the first David Johansen solo album, criminally, still  unavailable on CD or itunes.
