Dog Quote by Ron Mael

“Our father bought us 'Hound Dog' by Elvis and 'Long Tall Sally' by Little Richard, so those were the first records we owned. I don't know what his inspiration was for doing that... They weren't the kind of records you usually bought as educational tools for your child.” quote by Ron Mael — Download Open image
