Continuing on with the NZ Music Month theme, today's song is 'Jesus I was Evil' by Darcy Clay. This song came out in 1997 and was a big hit with the b-net university radio stations and later crossed over to a slightly bigger audience. It was from an EP of the same name , which he recorded himself on a 4-track recorder at home. It has one of the greatest lines in a rock song.... "I never shook babies, I never beat no ladies, but Jesus I was evil"
It was such a loss of a talented musician so early in his career, when he took his own life a year later. We do have this song to remember him by, so let's enjoy it again and again and try not to think about what could have been.
