james osterhoudt your comment pissed me off so much ,i got out of my rocking chair went across the floor to pick up the original vinyl and read that Charlie wrote the song , on the label.
This album was an instant classic when it was released, the CDB was as good as any band ever assembled, they could play it slow, or rock harder than the Rolling Stone, this song proves it
What a fantastic song. There is NOTHING remotely like this in the music world these days. Such intricate instrumentation that is totally lacking today. Never tire of hearing this song.
I live with pussycatto diablo...I get thru life using the method of listening to this song and replacing various words: Pussycatto for Cabello; Scruff for Mane; Half Cat for Half Horse; Paws for Hooves, etc!!
