8/16/20 I almost forgot Elvis’ death day. Continue to RIP King. I just had to add some extra to BMF’s post here. I’m surprised this was all he had because we were infatuated with The Bellrays for a long time. We downloaded “Kill the Messenger”. The lead singer has Tina Turner vibes.The Bellrays appear on BMF’s 2002 band link list from WHTRR. They traveled the country with Nashville Pussy. We saw them play at Echo Lounge in April of 2003. See BMF’s review and photos of the show.
The lyrics turn out to be poignant for our present situation. I miss you. I love you. ~mc~ #57bmf4ever
I feel alone
I feel dead
I got a pain in my heart going straight to my head

I feel confused.
I feel lost.
I feel like the world wants to put me under.
