Jon & Richie were so screwed up at the end of the 80's that they needed ghost-writers/musician to finish of the NJ album, Captain Kidd & The King of Swing did finish of that album...... like milli vanilli all over again...

Captain Kidd is a nickname given to Jon by Kerrang! magazine back when he wore shades, a hat and the flag as part of his stage clothes. They said he looked like "Captain Kidd."

Richie earned the nickname King of Swing by being a man-ho. It could just as easily be "King of Conquests" except that it doesn't have the same ring.

I remember that I thougth this was a cover tune, and I liked it so much that I went to the record store to ask if they had any cd's by Captain Kidd and The King of Swing, and they had no ****ing idea what I was talking about.
Hey this was back in '95 so I was about 9 or 10, that's my excuse, lol.

Is Richie also the "king of swing" referenced in Let It Rock?
