David Allan Coe Sings Panheads Forever


Panheads Forever by David Allan Coe



She's hard to get started, she's always so cold
In the mornings, I find her, she's looking so old
There's so many miles, I've been down that road once or twice
Yes, she's not much to look at when we ride through town
But I know when the chips fall, she won't let me down
She knows how to run, and she don't run around on her man
She's a high-flying lady, she takes me where I wanna be
There's no other woman standing between her and me
And I'll always be faithful, and keep her 'til the end of time
God knows, I'll always love that old panhead of mine
I've seen fancy dressers, and they've caught my eye
I rode 'em to ride 'em, then I told them goodbye
I flirted with low riders, sportsters, and shovelheads too
And I cussed her and beat her, and kicked her
To just get her started a couple of times
And you might think, I'm crazy, but I love that Panhead of mine
She's a high-flying lady, she takes me where I wanna be
There's no other woman standing between her and me
And I'll always be faithful, and keep her 'til the end of time
And God knows, I'll always love that old panhead of mine
God knows, I'll always love
I don't know, in case you like George Dickel a little bit
Hm, anyway, maybe you remember this song
Uh, today they just re-released the movie that we did over 20 years ago
And this song was the title of the movie
So yeah, you're about to be seeing it on TV or somewhere soon, anyway
I wrote this song in the 1970s, and a friend of mine who's dying very quickly
In the hospital and I don't know how much longer he's gonna live
I wanna thank him personally for singing this song and making it a big hit
His name is Johnny Paycheck, John Austin Paychec

Pulsating Paula passes away

New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA (December 4, 2019) — Born in Jersey City, New Jersey on October 17 in 1954, Paula Rearden moved to New Brunswick when she was just 8 years old . Known in the Biker world as Pulsating Paula, her photographs of New Jersey bikers in the 1980's and 1990's seeped with authenticity and fun.


Paula once said, “Got married to my first lay in 1973. 10 years later he bought me a camera, a Canon AE1. I still have it."


She started taking photos of biker parties and tattoo events and she sent them into ‘Biker Lifestyle’ magazine who later Paisano publications took over. They came out with ‘Tattoo’ magazine first of it’s kind ever.


Between the Biker and Tattoo magazines she had thousands of photos published.


The 10 minute set up of her photography studio consisted of 2 flood lights that burnt the shit out of any poor person in front of them, and a 6×9 foot black cloth she got from Kmart that was tacked onto a wall.


She never considered herself professional, ever. She just loved doing it with every fiber in her body.


She knew the wonderful people she met by name and places she has been in her journey will live on forever in her photographs. many of us are so glad that we were there with you.


Pulsating Paula was on the East Coast documenting bikers from her point of view. What is so compelling about her photography is that her photos bleed honesty, passion and a high level of respect for her subjects.


Thank you Paula for all you have done to preserve our life and history, Rest In Peace ole' friend
