Then again, I probably won't feel a whole lot better when you're gone

Yesterday was Gene Clark's birthday, so here's a Teenage Fanclub covering his best-known song, "Feel a Whole Lot Better" sometime in the mid-1990s.



According to wikipedia (and if you can't believe wikipedia, who can you believe?) Clark's royalties from Tom Petty's cover of this song on his multiplatinum album Full Moon Fever gave him (Gene) enough money to finally drink himself to death. That's very sad if it's true, but I'll always feel a whole lot better living in a world where "Feel A Whole Lot Better"was written.

Here's a vintage clip of Gene and the Byrds performing the song on "Shindig", back when silly granny glasses were the height of fashion.
