Was torn about them, because Wolf was a demigod to me from his days @ WBCN, but they were the local party band of beeries (jocks & squares) and i had friends in Boston's other blues band. Was a great fan of their video renaissance (Centerfold was with Cradle of Love and Pat Benatar's butt video for sending me lookin for scrambled porn) but those old social divides run deep. A townie RIP nonetheless -

As a late teenager at this time this was the album listened to over and over and especially the red "Bloodshot" album.  Got to see them in Milwaukee when you sent money in for tickets and prayed for great seats.  Got great seats for that show and Wolf was being passed JD on stage from the fans.  Still remember this after so many years.  Wish they had gone the way of concert shows the way some of the 70-80's bands did. Full House Album ruled in the 70' s.  RIP J. Geils

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

No way this guy could ever die.  :kicksrock:

Name any rocker that got more ##### for his lyrics?  None, no way.  Pretty bad music, premium time and place.  RIP J Giles, herpes was never cured but you did your best anyway.  :thumbup:

Anyone have the translucent red version of the "Bloodshot" album?  

Also - Peter Wolf marrying Faye Dunaway in her prime.  

 
Bummer.  RIP.  Lots of memories...


Does she walk? Does she talk?
Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel
Always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain
Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
Slipped me notes under the desk
While I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy I turned away
Before she caught my eye
I was shakin' in my shoes
Whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me
When angel passed close by



Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
Too see her in that negligee
Is really just too much
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on
Take you car, Yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private
A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it!
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold

I'm going to laugh my ### off when Ed Hardy or the guy who invented the $5,000 landscaping accent dies and you come here crying for sympathy.

 
Wait a minute, I've never worn or owned any Ed Hardy thing. I think those guys are nozzles. 

 
It is kind of depressing.  When I hear a song on the radio and think wow, that guy is dead.  There was a run of about 5 songs in a row, and it was like he's dead and he's dead and he's dead.  Thank God for the Rolling Stones. 

 
J Geils lived in the town next to where I grew up for the last 30 years, nice place with lots of land. His wife loved to ride horses. He battled the bottle and had been in pretty rough shape. My BIL went to go see him at the Bull Run about a year ago, said he was so wasted he could barely weave through the crowd to get on stage. 

 
Judging by the tone of most of the articles I've seen from non-music sources, I am guessing that almost everyone is confusing Peter Wolf for J. Geils.

I was never a big fan of the J. Geils bands, but until Spotify suggested a Peter Wolf track recently and I looked up who he was, I would have never guessed the lead singer of the J. Geils band was not J. Geils.

Wolf had modest success in the mid-80s as a solo artist ... was on the heels of the band's biggest commercial success, and that's when most of ascertained that he (Wolf) was not, indeed, Geils  :shrug:

Keith Richards has been dead for years but came back as a zombie and no one noticed.

I personally was not listening to his music as a 10-13 year old.  Was pretty much listening to whatever my parents put on (ie, their 45s from their own youth).  I did not discover the concept of listening to my own music until past Wolf's commercial prime.  The kids in high school were not wearing Peter Wolf t-shirts in the late 80s.

 
:(   Best live band ever.

Hold on this song has a little introduction to it

It aint supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way
It's a song about desperation, every now and then we do get desperate

This is a song about L-O-V-E, and if you abuse it yer goin to lose it and if you lose it yer goin to abuse and if you abuse it you aint going to be able to choose it cuz you aint going to have it further on down the line and things aint going to be so fine and yer going to be sitting there on your little machine tryin to look and keep it clean and your going to be home playing bingo all night all alone and that's why your sittin there by the telephone and you know that she aint goin to call you!

So you put on the tv and you're watchin Johhny Carson seguaying right into the Tomorrow show but that don't got the go so you turn it off ya turn on the radio - the radio dont' seem to get the click so you say "Hey Man, I can't lickety split" so you open up your little book but there's somethin there you got to overlook and you say "BABY, you know there's somethin on my mind!" You say "Baby there's somethin on my mind - I know that you're home and I know you're aint all alone! "

So you start walking over to her house and you get over to her house and you walk over to her door and you start poundin on her door and you say "Open up the door #####! This is umma gumma with the green teeth, let me in!!"

Well, she opens up the door and then you just kinda walk up to her and say "Baby", (say Baby!) you look up way up at her green mascara and you say "Oh my darling, you know her and me were at the party only as friends - do not believe what they say that's only gossip that they tellin ya - a wise crack of lies!"

Take your big curls and squeeze them down Rotunda - What's the name of the chick with the long hair? (Rapunzle!) Hey Rapunzle! (Raputa!) Raputa the Buta! Flipping down your hair let me climb up the ladder of your love!! Because this is umma gumma sayin to ya "Love comes once and when it comes you gotta grab it fast cuz sometimes the love you grab aint goina last and I belive I musta, oh baby I think I musta... I musta got lost!!)

Yup, I thought I might have stumbled onto something so I ended up buying another copy just to play.

To this day I still don't know if it's really worth anything

Ebay shows anywhere from $15 to $70 or so.  Can imagine someone getting the upward price on it.  

I just always thought it was cool - that and Grand Funk's "We're An American Band" gold colored album.  Both came out in '73.  

The only other colored records I remember seeing were some of my kid nursery rhyme song 78s.
