Back to the early days of Ted Tocks Covers.
Eddie Cochran died tragically, 65 years ago today.
“I’m gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nation
Well, I called my Congressman and he said quote
"I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote"

"Blue Jean" is a song written and recorded by the English singer-songwriter #DavidBowie for his sixteenth studio album #Tonight (1984). One of only two tracks on the album to be written entirely by Bowie, it was released as a single ahead of the album and charted in the United States, peaking at No. 8, becoming his 5th and last top 10 hit with no features. The song is loosely inspired by #EddieCochran.

From 2019:
Kyle Meredith speaks with Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom about their reunion album 40, how it lines up with their 40th anniversary, and recording the album all live. Phantom tells us that "Everything traces back to Eddie Cochran. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Sex Pistols, Motorhead, none of them exist without Eddie Cochran."
