Ah, where would we late night musicians be without Denny’s?  Actually passed out in a Denny’s one night!  Not because of drinking but because I’d been up for 2 days straight doing a weekend live gig and hooked up with a bunch of folks, one was a young WWF wrestler (forget his name).  In talking about pro-wrestling, he mentioned he was a “bleeder” and of course, I opened my big mouth and asked him what that was.  He pulled back his long blond bangs and showed a long, thin scar across his forehead and explained he would tape a small piece of razor on his thumb, then at the right time in the match, he’d pull the razor across his forehead and bleed.  Now, no one knew then, but even the thought of someone bleeding made me woozy and since I was running on no sleep for 48 hours, I passed out like a boxer taking a dive.  Hit the floor good and hard too.

In 1985, Bachman-Turner Overdrive reunited in a way.  Randy Bachman and Fred Turner were joined by Randy’s brother Tim (an original member of BTO) and Guess Who drummer Garry Peterson to record a single studio album and go on tour as a supporting act for Van Halen.  Anyway, this song was the “Taking Care of Business” rip BTO managed to do on just about every album at some point or another.  Not the best song on the album, but still a toe tapper if you like BTO, and or course, I do.
