Rodriguez!! Tell me, did he play a tune called “Only Good For Conversation”..? It was off his debut & was a rocker!
I don’t believe he did no. Yeah that’s a good one, but may too much of a rocker for the band he played with. There were 4-5 I would loved to hear, but for whatever the reason he covers other bygone songs.
Here’s the actual setlist….

2. Can’t Get Away
3. This Is Not a Song, It’s an Outburst: Or, The Establishment Blues
4. I Wonder
5. Love Me or Leave Me (Nina Simone cover)
6. Inner City Blues
7. Only Good for Conversation
8. Sugar Man
9. Lucille (Little Richard cover)
10. Crucify Your Mind
11. Rich Folks Hoax
12. Like Janis
13. I Only Have Eyes for You (The Flamingos cover)

17. You’d Like To Admit It
18. Learnin’ the Blues (Frank Sinatra cover)
19. To Whom It May Concern
Ok…so it looks like he did do the tune I mentioned acording to the setlist! And yes, looks like some of his “covers” choices are a bit weird! Frank Sinatra?? lol….
bob hoskins’ death is still very strange; he was young and always working and relevant. he is probably best known for ‘the long good friday’, even though it’s a relatively old film, but ‘mona lisa’ is also notable. harper lee’s ‘to kill a mockingbird’ was the book i read at school that even though it contained weighty social commentary, it never registered with me as a fourteen-year-old. which i am embarrassed to admit. i preferred fighting fantasy books at that age. which i am slightly less embarrassed to admit.
