Nows and Forevers

Also 40 years old this year is “Beat’s So Lonely.” I’ve never understood why Charlie Sexton wasn’t a big rock star. “Beat’s So Lonely” is his debut from 1985 and it rocks. Sexton cowrote this song, played lead guitar and sang it like a rocker twice his age.

Oh yeah, Charlie was 16.

He was a little less than a year younger than me in 1985. His lyrics were more vivid than mine then, tell you that.
