Dynamic Range Radio After Hours - Concrete Blonde's "Still In Hollywood"

I was looking through my top artists list on Last.FM when I noticed that I haven't been playing nearly enough Concrete Blonde. I plan to remedy that situation in the coming weeks, but when I was going through my Concrete Blonde collection, I came across another track I'd love to play but probably shouldn't because of its rather obvious use of the "F" word. So that means it's time once again for Dynamic Range Radio After Hours.

I remember seeing the censored video for "Still In Hollywood" in regular rotation on Muchmusic several years before "Joey" captured the mainstream's attention, and it was one of my favourites back then. That riff is still one for the ages, but now that I'm much older and ostensibly wiser, the use of the "F" word in this song seems a bit forced and immature. It screams out "Look at us! We're cursing in our video! Aren't we edgy?" But I do love the elderly Jewish gentleman at the end. And seeing that this was released way back in 1986, you could probably make a case that Concrete Blonde was a major influence on the Seattle sound.

Now, here's the uncensored video in all its exuberant, youthful NSFWness.
