Brownsville Station--Smokin In The Boys Room (1973)

     Brownsville Station was another of the bands to come from the fertile Detroit rock scene of the late 60's. They had 7 songs on the top 100 over their 10 year career, but only one is thought of today. "Smokin' in the Boys Room" was written by lead singer Cub Coda and Mike Lutz and reached #3 on the charts in late 1973. A little over a decade later, Motley Crue covered the song and it became their first hit as well.
     The band broke up in 1979, but Cub Coda became a bit of a musicial renaissance man spending the next 20 years until his death in 2000 as a DJ, and music critic, writer (he co-wrote, "All Music Guide to the Blues), and his continued songwriting and singing.
