Reactions to my first music video have certainly run the gamut: “”The gong at the end? Comedy genius”. or my personal favorite “There’s Citizen Kane, there’s Battleship Potemkin and then there’s this”. Regardless, Lucy in the Car with David is a special moment in time. The sort of moment you may spend a lot of time trying to block from your memory for a few days after having watched it. So for goodness sake – make sure your volume is up.

Recorded in Newport Rhode Island roughly two weeks ago while left to my own devices in the parking lot of a liquor store, I think it’s fitting that unadulterated genius was hatched thusly. It’s not the Cavern Club, it’s not Big Pink, it’s the back seat of an Audi Quattro. But it’s undoubtedly a little slice of musical heaven. As it’s Halloween, I dedicate this to Joplin, Cobain, Lennon, Orbison, Hoon, Curtis, Harrison, Dimebag Darryl and anyone else who’d likely spin in their grave given the opportunity to hear LITCWD. No need to thank me for the exercise.
No animals were harmed in the making of this film. Unless you count Kingman and Henry who were inside buying enough liquor to sicken the crew of a pirate ship.
hahahahahaha. BRILLANT.
This is HILARIOUS. I emailed it to everyone I know. My dog, Vito the Pug, is enamored of Lucy. Seriously, he was humping throw pillows when I showed him the video.

BTW, this is Kate J. I interviewed you for a Globe story a while back on blogging. I was updating my portfolio recently, saw the story and looked you up. Still great stuff. In fact, you and Friday’s Feast inspired me to start blogging a few years ago myself.
Congratulations on becoming a US citizen!

As the proud owner of an adorable Boxer, I found that little clip so endearing. What a cutie – Lucy is great in front of the camera!
