70's Buick Riviera - 1986 Gowan Great Dirty Car Studio 1.mov
In 1986 while recording Great Dirty World in Los Angeles (Hollywood) I decided to return my Jaguar rental car after the first three weeks of exorbitant payments and instead buy an old "beater-car" to get me to and from the studio for the next few months. Cost: $750.
It was a Buick Riviera that could easily have doubled as a cruise ship, had I only taken some enterprising initiative.
For our brief time together I loved that car. It was so"un-Hollywood" and extremely "unreliable". My mechanical knowledge, always in short supply, was put to the test on every turn of the starter key.
It eventually gave out in the middle of the intersection at Santa Monica Blvd. and San Vicente on a sweltering June afternoon when traffic was at its peak.
I managed to solicit the aid of a passing giant (former football player) who for $10 helped me push it to the side of the road. For an extra $2 he prayed vehemently over the wreck and while squeezing my hand he called upon the lord to save this wayward vehicle from the path it had taken. The car never did start again that day. It was obviously beyond divine intervention at that point. I left it abandoned at the side of the road and never laid eyes on it again. Until the day it won the Kentucky Derby!*

In wilds where "Creature" lived unknown / Men found his last Ancestral Bone / When back to civilization flown / They plotted to create his clone.

The clock is ticking. The time approaches. And the curtain will rise once more upon the Checkmate.

My favourite Gowan 💖
I love him but he get married to Jan
I love this song
Don't say that about him. I'd like to see you sing those high notes
Thank you for mentoring me. I can finally hit the high note's
This song will always remind me of Degrassi
You have ways to take hold of my nuts 💀
"A familiar spirit - (alter ego, doppelgänger, personal demon, personal totem, spirit companion) is the double, the alter ego, of an individual. It does not look like the individual concerned. Even though it may have an independent life of its own, it remains closely linked to the individual." 🦋 ❤ -Pierre A. Riffard
My gosh where has this time gone? This song brings me right back to the 80s, and the overwhelming sense of loss is powerful. Happiness. Simplicity. This song is a time capsule.
Wooooooo that Jon Anderson background vocal is 🔥 🔥
M A S T E R P I E C E
I just saw him live, last night This was the last song. Took me back 37 years. It was 👏
Saw him on Friday in Vancouver, BC. Just wow! Underrated performer.
Timeless
forgot to say : listening and watching July 2024
Both beautiful Gowan and the miraculous voice of Jon Anderson are beyond words, pure magic, out of this world... I can't stop listening to it/them!
Heard this song since it was released. JUST A MINUTE AGO heard the backing vocals, which I have listened to every time it played, and saw a face and put together it was Jon Anderson from YES. Gowan is a talented guy.
Beautiful
Aztec pyramids, Jon Anderson of "Yes" doing backing vocals AND acting as an Aztec shaman, and Gowan in a ruffled shirt and mullet - what is there not to love?
take me back to the eighties please
😂😂😂 I heard this at the shop and I was like yooooo 😮😮😮❤❤❤
This is the best song ever made even beyond the 80’s and it’s still cool that it rock to this day in 2024 and beyond
Wonderful song and video!! Great. I love it this. Thank you for sharing. ❤
The story I always heard was when Gowan was recording this album Jon Anderson was recording down the hall and heard the song and asked if he could add a little to the song. How cool would it be to have the voice of Yes want to be on your song? What a great song made even better.
I like this Gowan tune a lot, not bad for a Wolf Hassel (Frozen Ghost) impersonator.
Larry is an amazing performer. He open for Paul Young and blew him away.
Oh my goodness. I love it😂
I love ❤his mullet gorgeous and the song is awesome 👌 👏 love both ❤️
Aesthetic: Canadian Toto
2:40 onwards to be heard when "it" happens for the very first time.
JUST AMAZING ! I MISS THE 80s !
Lawrence was my dads best friends childhood chum they lived beside each other in T.O
Was watching an old movie & thought of this song 🎵 always thought this song could’ve worked in so many fantasy oriented films 🎥🍿 great song 🎶

I feel like I wrote this song lol
When it comes to music, movies, video games, the 80s is the GOAT.
Only one video game. Vice city. 80s was a weird transiton from the 70s to 90s.
Never the GOAT. A cerain few, like Gowan should be im the Hall of Fame.
truth
I can never get enough of this song! The video only makes it better!
Annunaki staircase of death! 2 types of pyramids smooth and sacrificial-alters!
Chinese new year, I got the number 7, 3 times,3 times, so ima continue to repeat my prayers, even 3 times 7, especially for the people and positions I mentioned.
I hope that God is still allrigt with me and that when I went to post up Beatty j Eadie z, embraced by the light and the awakening heart,at Indian groove and the people were like ' take it down ', and a day or so later, there was, the storm, that brought down all the wires, right at the intersection of Indian groove, the workers there, tried to save the posters I put up. I really hope and pray that God on my side,or I allrigt? I had good dreams even at salvation army. I hope and pray that the government of North America, somehow see that,if, God's will, in Christ Jesus name, the mediator, shaman of all things, Master of them. All the people praying for me, even in the government's and royalties, rich people, I asked God to return back all the prayers, . Even before this pastor Kevin Ewing. Someone doing something great for you,it doesn't take a genius to wish or pray for the same thing if not more back to them!❤ I use the number 3, not use to the number 7 as much,but I'll use that number too.
So this again, for the government's of North America, royalties,rich people,presidents,, freedom, grace, courage, endurance, medicine from whatever spiritual illness, evil eye, love, love in it's purest form, innocence,magic, and more, God knows.
The Golden bubble Moon that I saw, I dedicate this, I return it back also to the creator......... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Blessings, protection, power against adversity, authority, wisdom, intelligence, power, unconditional love, purity, grace,,❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sharing whatever power, with the government's of North America,if God approve in Jesus name,if it's right. The fawn Jesus deer was most powerful thing I ever seen, even thu twas really sad and scary.❤
