This week’s song is a live version of a song from the debut album by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions.
Yes, we are excited about this upcoming series about Truman Capote & His So-Called Swans. Plus, all the Swans are being played by our contemporaries, including Demi Moore, Naomi Watts and, last but not least, the Queen of the Original Brat Pack, Ms. Mollie Ringwald…RINGWALD!
Just like Hitchcock, just like Capote, Lloyd Cole here seems to have a near religious fervor when it comes to those high-society blondes / frigid blondes / suicide blondes / unattainable blondes. Of course, Cole namechecks this tendency in his lyrics:
You came driving back to town
In a beat up Grace Kelly car
Looking like a friend of Truman Capote
Looking exactly like you are
Yes, I know that’s your charm
We don’t watch much TV, and especially not that current, precious, Peak TV-type stuff, but for Truman Capote & Perfect-Skin Blondes, we make an exception…
