from Mark Ellen's "Rock Stars Stole My Life":
"The new five-piece Ugly Rumours began appearing on the party circuit, Al perfecting his gale-force solos and Tony adopting a courageous hoop-necked top that revealed several square inches of bare torso. The only tensions were the endless do-you-tuck-your-flares-into-your-cowboy-boots debates that panicked the ranks seconds before showtime, and the irritating sight of pretty girls in print dresses gathered round the central mike-stand. The set-list usually went like this:
• ‘Honky Tonk Women’ by the Stones
• The inescapable ‘Johnny B. Goode’
• ‘Long Train Running’ and ‘China Grove’ by the Doobie Brothers
• ‘Take It Easy’ by Jackson Browne
• ‘I Don’t Want To Talk About It’, Crazy Horse
• ‘Wishing Well’ by Free
• ‘Live With Me’ and ‘Brown Sugar’ by the Stones
‘Guys, guys.’ Tony called us together after one show. ‘We’re OK and everything but we could be so much better if we rehearsed!’
(…)
The cowbell started up for ‘Honky Tonk Women’. We cranked up the riff and gave Tony the nod and he burst from behind a hedge doing his now fairly polished Jagger impression - low-slung flares, bare midriff, one hand on a hip, the other wagging a cautionary finger, elbows flapping like a chicken. A couple of camp handclaps above his head and he pulled the microphone from its stand.
‘Well awwwrright Corpus Christi Alternative College Ball, how are ya?’"
