Thursday June 4, 2020 “Private Lives” Low Cut Connie
Probably you don’t know this group but let’s start off with how could you not love a band called ‘Low Cut Connie’ and all that conjures up and then let’s get to some slightly scandalous lyrics and a pop tune that should be looking for a vaccine because it is so infectious. Sorry, corona times drove me to that but it is a really catchy piece of work.
And just who is Low Cut Connie? She is ‘a middle-aged diner waitress from Southern New Jersey’ according to Andrew Weiner who is responsible for the band’s songwriting, singing and many of the instruments and don’t feel like you should keep it a secret that you like this ‘band’ because Low Cut Connie's fans include Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Hornsby, Howard Stern and Barack Obama (yeah, really on all of those).
Maybe the kids shouldn’t watch the video, heck maybe sensible people shouldn’t watch it either but definitely give it a listen so you can tell all your friends that of course you know who Low Cut Connie is and they should too. And if you are wondering where Andrew Weiner's inspiration comes from just go to their previous albums/CDs titles: “Get Out the Lotion”, “Call Me Sylvia”, “Hi Honey” and “Dirty Pictures 1 and 2” (separate works) which pretty much sums it all up.
Stay safe and well...and sometimes you just gotta get undignified even if just in your private life.
