------ About the song The Hungry Wolf performed by X
A great song by X......Exene, you ae still so awesome! If you get the chance to see them, GO! Bow down to your punk overlords....for some reason, I think everything you need to know about life is in this song somewhere....
In 1984? I purchased Ain't Love Grand,admittedly for 1 reason;Burning House of Love.Today,went to your website,only to hear a barbituated version of it...thought"they're ashamed of the original!"'been tryin'occasionally to limewire it,but the file is ALWAYS "corrupted".It all makes sense now.Saw you on DirectTVs T101.YUCKERS!!!
Hey man was just bored and decided to have a look the lyrics are really good im a music major and they are pretty damn good keep writing them .

------ About the song Adult Books performed by X
This song is a great example of the emerging signature vocal and lyrical style that set the band "X" apart from the many derivative punk bands that formed in the late '70's.

------ About artist/band X
You haven't listened to X?????? A very important band "...the last american band to get played on the radio..." Los Angeles, Blue Spark, Johhny Hit and Run Pauline, More Fun in the New World- great songs and albums. X was a very unique band with a male and female vocalist and lyrical imagery reminiscent of a Raymond Chandler novel. Dark, gritty, cynical yet clinging to hope for a change in awareness of the minds of it's listeners and beyond. X never achieved the acclaim that its fans and music critics felt they should have but were destinied to become legends in the underground music scene and maybe that's okay too. One of the best american bands to come out of the punk genre at least as far as musical maturity and the last underground band before it all became radio friendly and safe.
