PROFILE: This nasty little bugger started Kinking in the early 60’s, hitting with “You Really Got Me” and proving his point ’til the Waterloo sun set. Artistic and commercial zeniths then miles apart, Davies & company changed record companies, hillbillied at Muswell, “retirement” a veritable soap opera. No soap, no radio, but sleepwalking in the mid-70’s helped score a gallon of gas and lots more mileage. One More For The Road—then buy one for us too, guys, OK?

BEER: Boy Howdy!
