The country pop song that inspired a Descendents and Black Flag legend
from Don't Look Back Podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
It’s not entirely surprising that Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson would have a broad and rich range of musical influences. He recounts loving each of the hundreds of 7” singles his parents owned and allowed him to play to ruination on his little record player. Songs by Frank Sinatra, the swinging jazz of Louis Prima, for instance. What is a little surprising is that he chose a country pop tune, made famous by Kenny Rogers, for Don't Look Back.
