Saw Aimee Mann live at Bimbo's 365 Club in San Francisco in 2012.
Bimbo's is an amazing venue, still standing and unchanged for more than 80 years. Going there for a concert is like going back in time. Bimbo's used to be "The Home of the Girl in the Fishbowl".
Before color TV, they used a periscope and a woman in a mermaid costume in the basement to create the illusion of a mermaid in a fishbowl waving at people in the club. Technology has taken the amazement out of that illusion. They only recreate it a few times a year for nostalgia, but the apparatus is still there.
My mother went to Bimbo's a decade before I was born. The night with Aimee Mann on stage was my first and last date with someone who wasn't the one for me.
Thanks for posting the video. I knew the song but had never seen the video. She fell hard for this creep in a wife-beater t-shirt simply because of his good looks.
Good-looking people with symmetrical faces have a much easier time of it in life I'm afraid.
There used to be a song, a one-hit-wonder, by Jimmy Soul, released in 1963. The lyrics were:
"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you"
