song 095 : Night Prowler PCH (Nonpoetic Rain: Live on KXLU)
Alright, I know I crow my own praises plenty, but slipping from Pere Ubu’s Heart of Darkness into AC/DC’s Night Prowler with a dash of Sonic Youth’s Pacific Coast Highway at the end, man, if you can’t see how bad ass I am, then fuck you anyway.
By this time Night Prowler PCH was no longer a catharsis, a healing cleansing for me, it was a powerful anthem, a song that I liked to start every rehearsal with because it made me feel strong.
As somebody who heard the words “get in the car” and was dragged into a car at the beginning of an abduction that was nearly murder, being able to sing those words with total comfort, with a sense of my own power, was an accomplishment.
This version strays into sarcasm, especially with Ronnie’s Cobain inspired goofy lead guitar deconstruction of the famous Angus Young solo. It seems to me to capture the overall experience of assault: the terror, the loss of control, the lulls, the moment of utter crisis, the shocky sleepy aftermath, even the absurdity.
