      I saw them first at Club 88 in the late seventies in LA. They were really great. Our local ROQ of the '80s station played them straight into the ground, but it wasn't the band's fault. I think I'm almost ready to start listening to them again.

    I was lucky and saw them in 1982 at UC San Diego. I was in the Marines and went to see them and Missing Persons. It was in a basketball gym and the stage was about 6 inches high. They got the crowd going wild, and then when Missing Persons came on, it was almost a riot, and the cops came at the end and shut it down because of the mayhem. they sprayed everyone with tear gas and it was awesome. But Wall of Voodoo was unbelievable , and after the Marines I started a punk band , partially because of seeing those guys

      Amazing. I was a student at UCSD at the time and at this very same concert. Went there to see Missing Persons and have no recollection of Wall of Voodoo. Even though I enjoyed "Mexican Radio". What I recollect most about that concert is how Dale Bozio gave not two wits for anybody other than herself once the tear gas was unleashed. Crazy. Never had any scenes at any other UCSD concerts. I've often thought that whole deal was a staged publicity stunt by Missing Persons that go out of hand.

      He got the high sign so he jumped a bus
      And along the roads that wind on through
      The hot Mojave and the Jericho
      He'd start his whole life anew
      And what he'd left behind he hadn't valued
      Half as much as some things
      He never knew
      He got dropped off on a street in town
      Where a grey old man looked him up and down and said
      "Son this ain't no western movie matinee
      And you're a long way off from yippee yi yay
      Cause I can tell at a glance
      You're not from 'round these parts
      Got a green look about ya
      And that's a gringo for starts
      Sometimes the only thing a western savage understands
      Are whiskey and rifles and an unarmed man like you."
      "So you gotta keep on the move
      And don't let that fancy paint fool you."
      And then the old-timer pulled him close and said,
      "You've come a long way, I know
      You got a longer drive ahead
      Through the bones of a buffalo
      Through the claims of the western dead
      And just like the spokes of a wheel
      You'll spin 'round with the rest,
      You'll hear the drums and the brush of steel,
      You'll hear the call of the west."
      Call of the west
      Harshly awakened by the sound of six rounds
      Of light caliber rifle fire followed minutes
      Later by the booming of nine rounds from a
      Heavier rifle
      But you can't close off the wilderness
      He heard the snick of a rifle bolt and found
      Himself peering down the muzzle of a weapon
      Held by a drunken liquor store owner
      "There's a conflict, " he said.
      "There's a conflict between land and people
      The people have to go.
      They've come all the way out here to make mining
      Claims, to do automobile body work, to gamble.
      To take pictures, to not have to do laundry, to
      Own a mini-bike, to have their own cb radios and
      Air conditioning, good plumbing for sure, and to
      Sell time life books and to work in a deli, to
      Have some chili every morning and maybe, maybe
      To own their own gas stations again and to take
      Drugs and have some crazy sex, but above all,
      Above all to have a fair shake, to get a piece of the
      Rock and a slice of the pie and to spit out
      The window of your car and not have the wind blow
      It back in your face."
      Now from the high timber line to the deserts dry
      Who'll risk dangling on some hangman's tree
      To stake their claims on these prairie plains
      While they say this lunch is not had for free?
      Just like the spokes of a wheel
      Who'll spin 'round with the rest?
      They'll hear the drums and the brush of steel
      And I'll hear the call of the west
      Call of the west

      Yeah, seriously I've heard of what a handful he was off of the stage based on Concrete Blonde's semi-biographical "Joey" about the singer's relationship with him/dealing with the alcoholism that prematurely ended his life, but hearing this, I guess I can understand his talent, how he managed to deliver on stage, even if he might not have been able to draw the line when he got off of it...

    I met Stan Ridgeway at our rehearsal room/house in Glendale circa 1982-83. Chatted with him for a few minutes. Nice guy.
    Like Sylvester Stallone, he was the only star I’ve known about who became famous in spite of his persistent Bell’s palsy.
    Watch the video. He uses it as an advantage. Genius musician. I’d have asked more questions if I knew who he was.
    Probably better that I didn’t know. More authentic.
    I had no idea who he was.

    Stumbled upon this GEM of a cover after not hearing it for at least 15/20 years....
    Has aged like a piece of fine Vintage Cheese...
    It started me wondering " What did Johnny Cash think of it ?"
    Dug about the web 4 a bit & found -
    Songfacts: Did you ever hear back from Johnny or his people about what he thought of it?
    Stan: I did. Met him a couple of times back in the middle '80s, maybe late '80s. One time me and my solo band were staying in Edinburgh, Scotland; we were playing there. And the whole Johnny Cash family was also in the same hotel; they were doing Johnny Cash's Christmas in Scotland. So we had a good time sitting down at the bar with June and Carlene and people like that. And I asked Carlene, "Has your dad heard our 'Ring of Fire' song?" And she goes, "Oh, my dad's a strange man." And right at that moment the elevator doors opened up, and it was Johnny. And you know people of Scotland aren't that tall. It's not that they're small, it's just that they're not that tall. And when this guy came out of the elevator, it was like there was some super-human being coming towards us. He looked very studied, he was tense. It was time to go to the show. They had a big show to do. So he motioned to everybody in the bar that was with him, "Time to go." And everybody just jumped up like a lightning bolt and went out the door. And Carlene said, "Oh, yes, Stan, he loves it." (laughing) So that was enough for me.

    I remember the band from their pop hit 'Mexican Radio ' when I was a kid. I have kind of rediscovered them and they were so much cooler than I realised! This is great love that early 80's punk sound..where's my old Big Black albums?

    Best cover of this I've ever heard. Otherworldy, and that mad bastard in a suit with the mic is the cherry on top. Spectacular in all its pieces.

    Reminds me of stuff you used to see on cable tv back in the late 70s or early 80s. I see talent here, but more a stillborn project than a full term hit. In the hands of a good board man in a good studio-that could have really been a rock history gem.

    A Detroit relocated human to Southern California in 1982...this as many other enlightening poetry then, like, this, was astonishing. Fantastic! Thanks for my youth relived. It was so so much fun living in Claremont College in the early 80's - mid 80's. Never will forget.
