Comment:

Yes, I know there are more songs 'bout James Dean...Goo Goo Dolls, Gordon Lightfoot etc...but I don't own them...also Brando is name-checked in Iggy's China Girl...oh, and James Dean is not Manic Street Preachers or the other guy....oh and Suedehead by Morrissey could be about Dean but I ran out of room..and, yep Big Mouth Strikes Again carries an image of Dean on a motorbike..in truth I'm a Brando fan...I'm also dedicating this to Paul Newman and John Garfield!!
