It sounds resigned, tired...
I know "Strutter" is a Kiss song, and I also thought I knew everything there is to know about DBT - when / where did this come out on vinyl, exactly?
Eyes Like Glue is kind of vulnerable. Cooley doesn't usually do vulnerable.

Eyes Like Glue is kind of mediocre. Cooley doesn't usually do mediocre.
What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard

Disagre- maybe it was the timing of it, with the recent birth of my first son and all, but I love it and don't see anything mediocre about it. Worked fine in the sequencing for me, too.

It was only a matter of "who", not "if", lol. I didn't expect to escape unscathed for that one. Yes, I'm sure the personal connection made a difference for you, Smitty, that makes total sense. And it's not like it's a bad song, imo it's just not up to the very high standards of much of the rest of Cooley's output.

yea, i'm in the same boat, if anyone has it, i'd appreciate it! i saw them do it in charlotte & myrtle beach during the fine print shows...they rock it well. my boss is a huge kiss fan & he noticed i was singing it around the office during the weeks around those shows....
Just cause I don't run my mouth don't mean I got nothing to say...
This probably isn't much help, but pretty sure you can still get it as a Bonus Track when/if you download TBTD from iTunes.....but only if you buy the whole album, and surely anyone on TDD already has it in some format or another.
