I miss his original guitarist.
Kept hearing "you so pred-tee" in my head:

Jeez, calm down. He clearly doesn't like Isaak, and he might have expressed it a little immaturely, but that was a pretty typical expression - it's not like he'd actually punch Chris in the face. Calling him an idiot is just as offensive/inappropriate.

Let's face it......after the song with the video with the hot model on the beach... I can't remember the song or the name of it.... Chris Isaak was finished.
This has no depth whatsoever.

oh i see "douche bag" isn't offensive.
Not when you're using it as a descriptive quality to explain the way someone acts. I didn't call anyone a douche bag, I just said Chris Isaak acts like a douche bag, which he does - he may or may not be one. This other dude called this guy an idiot... pretty harshly blunt... it's all about intent. And in no offense to women, or women hygiene products.... but douche bag has come to mean a certain type of guy in slang, clearly.

Is that the riff from the Cars "Dangerous Type" in the background?

I don't like Isaak either. He acts like a douche bag and his TV show was beyond terrible.

Does anyone else feel that Chris Isaak comes off pretty creepy in most of his songs? A girl I know says she went with friends to a concert of his, and she said it felt distinctly "like he was trying to have sex with the women in the audience through his singing."
I believe her next word was "Ick" accompanied by a disgusted face.

Oh definitely. I'm not listening to RP right now though, I've just had that song and riff stuck in my head for decades.
I wake up and "Bang a Gong" is playing in my head. Go eat breakfast—-"Bang a Gong" playing in my head still.Work- same shit.
Sometimes it stops, but usually only after a severe manic episode which I shake of through a variety of self medication and healing practices.
Then it starts again.
Worst thing to happen to me since " Achy Breaky Heart"
Well, it was actually before, but I'm getting distracted by the groove.
Hub cap diamond star halo? Like I'll be able to sleep tonight trying to figure that line out.
OK- I've got to go pitch a Wang Dang Doodle tonight too, so I'm off.
Ya think?.
Can you please tell me how your cure works so I can get "Yippee Ki-Yay, Mini Sirloin Burgers" out of my head? Oh crap, I just put it in yours.......

Saw Chris Isaak in a July concert. Fun Fun Fun! What a voice and entertainer. Nearly blinded us with his mirror suit.
Maybe he thinks if he uses that line often enough he'll get lucky sooner or later.

This song is dead to me.
Soliciting listener support for Bill to play Allman Brothers "Blue Sky". Never played on RP, but has a 9.4 on 18 ratings. How about it, Bill?
I'm sick of this side of Mr. Isaak. I've heard this "sound" for years. Let's do something new instead of rehashing old styles....
ok I am officially sick of this song now. Never liked it much, but dealt with it. Now it's time to hit the mute for a few min... Sorry Bill.
This song is too repetitive. How many times does he say "You're a very pretty girl"? I wish he would describe how pretty she is a different way than just repeating it a gazillion times. Just my two cents.
My wife and I just saw Chris at the Ryman in Nashville a few weeks ago. It was one of the best concerts/performances I have ever seen. He and his band were amazing. He has a great stage presence and his voice is great live, I cannot say enough about how awesome the show was. If you have the chance, I would recommend seeing Chris Isaak in concert - you won't regret it.

I love this song and CD....going to see Chris Isaak in July!...can't wait
Hope he never finds a happy relationship or we'll have no more good songs ... smoldering and sleazy ... gotta love it!

Has anyone seen his new TV show on A&E/Bio?

Sorry, but this takes a back seat, turd-muffin to his earlier stuff. I saw Chris in Minneapolis ca. 2002. I was sitting waaay back in the upper bleachers. The lights went out, Chris disappears from the stage.... And re-appears upper balcony right next to me and shakes my hand. Thanks, Chris, for my 2 seconds of blinding spotlight. Incidentally, this was a superb concert overall, not just because I made physical contact with the main attraction. Go back to the San Francisco Days stuff, Chris.. Much better groove-fluff....

OMG please, "99.9%"? Thats just laughable. Dude probably gets some trim, and some of it prime, but no way is he having a sex life THAT interesting, especially if you listen to his lame ass, sad-sack songs.
