Bob performed a staggering number of relationship songs in 1989 – not only his own but also a lot of covers.
He has always gone way beyond the “She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah – I wanna hold your hand” format.
Bob is looking for a lot more than that!
He is also more interested as always in the “black” side of love songs – the “train wreck” at the end of a relationship.
This topic was obviously preoccupying his mind in 1989.
So here we have an incredible song-cycle with:
more sex than all the Italian operas combined,
more intrigue & innuendo than the “naughty” Shakespeare plays they avoid teaching kids in college; &
more drama than most Hollywood & Bollywood soap operas.
So welcome to Bob’s love opera in 67 parts!!
Some great (& scary) stuff here.
