I always thought this song could be The Great Lost Single from the Who's
"Quadrophenia," but the live version on "The Complete Budokan Concert"
channels Neil Young as well (imagine a Crazy Horse version of "The Needle
and the Damage Done"). Yet another twisted Rick Nielsen power-pop manifesto
about sex, drugs and suicide. Sounds great on 12-string, too! PS the
complete lyrics to "Downed" and other fine selections from the Cheap Trick
catalog can be found at the band's official web site (www.cheaptrick.com).
