Also on backing vocals are Dolette McDonald and Nona Hendryx, as is Adrian Belew , who also adds guitar. \n\nEnjoy this discussion of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KQjy02eqOk\n--\nNow, watch a live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KQjy02eqOk","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
