As some of you may have noticed before, I massively love The Kinks - and Lola is my absolute favourite of their many stone-cold classics. Their very own 'Hey Jude', to these ears…
'Maybe it's because I'm a Lon-don-ahhh' - born at the height of Kinks-mania AND in the very same neighbourhood that Ray & Dave Davies grew up in - but whenever I hear a Kinks song, particularly from the mid-late 60s, it always makes me feel like I've taken a time machine right back to the era and place that I came from.
I don't care if it is on its bazillionth Jam. It is just bloody brilliant both musically and lyrically and deserves frequent jamming. I am totally with you on this one, just to be clear!
Classic! No need for any justifications, it's just great music! Like the trip down memory lane, works for me. :) Hope to see ya & @Fullam over at GJB http://www.godsjukebox.com/wall/ :)
