This is hagiography, not an encylopedia article, and needs editing.--Robert Merkel
- So go ahead and edit it!
X is the worst name for a band if you are searching for them on the Internet, incidentally. Or maybe the second worst, after The The.
So X fans: did X have a song that stole the Dylan lyrics "I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff," and changed "I'm going back to Foggy Bottom" to "I'm going back to Los Angeles"? I thought that was an X song, but I can't remember the name, and I can't look it up on the Internet because they have the worst name for a band for searching on the Internet. - Tim
- "I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff" is a line from Dylan's "Just Like Tom Thumb Blues" from Highway 61 Revisited. To the best of my knowledge, X never covered it, but they certainly might have. The line "I'm going to Foggy Bottom" is totally unknown to me. I doubt it is not in any Dylan song, since Foggy Bottom is in DC and Dylan never lived there or had any connection to it. Sorry I can't be of more help. Tuf-Kat 21:54, Dec 14, 2003 (UTC)
I too have the same problem mentioned above. How I first got into X was hearing that song played on music tv in Australia (Rage), and the lyric stuck out to me because I was a big Dylan fan. I have a double cd of theirs now "Los Angeles" backed with "Wild Gift", but the song isn't on them. From memory I think the clip might have been in black and white. I can't look this up on the internet cause 'X' is very hard to look for. By the way the original line is definitely not "I'm going back to Foggy Bottom". It's "I'm going back to New York City". Which makes more sense for X to change it to "Los Angeles". Anyway any help on the song title?
On the "Live at the Whiskey a Go Go..." album John doe does the Burgundy stanza from "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" during the performance of "Devil Doll". It's also found on the Make the Music Go Bang compilation. -Michael

I decided to delete it because I have a hang-up about people rewriting my writing. Then why, you may ask, did I post anything on wikipedia. My answer is: I don't know. But what difference does it make? --165.121.114.xxx
The difference is, if you can get over this hang-up, the world will have a free article about X! Woo hoo! --LMS
Oh, I'm over it. Thanks for caring! --165.121.114.xxx
See Template:VfD-xaband for discussion of what to do with X (band). Previous discussion on Template:VfD-X band. - David Gerard 10:39, May 7, 2004 (UTC)
Isn't this the band that did the cover of the Troggs' "Wild Thing" for the Major League sountrack in 1989?
[edit] Does anyone know who directed "Burning House of Love"
It was nominated for a Best Direction VMA, but I've never been able to find out the director's name. I asked this question in the X's official website and the band members didn't remember. Anyone who knows it please help.
