THIS JUST IN: WAYNE COCHRAN MORTAL

The hair. That's the first thing you notice about Wayne Cochran. The questionable self-designed duds, the second thing you notice. Fancy footwork might be the third. Somewhere down the list would be the music. Cochran had a decent voice, but I gotta say, as much as I appreciate his musical efforts, it all goes back to his freak flag, the hair and the outfits. The Hound summed it up well "...Wayne Cochran, for sheer flamboyance made the New York Dolls, Gary Glitter, David Bowie, Slade, and all the other glam rockers of the day look like the Allman Brothers' road crew." Ouch! Sting like a bee!

Cochran died a couple weeks ago. Cloud Head is dead. Long live Cloud Head.
