“I’m a long distance romancerI keep trying ’til I get an answerGimme gimme one more chanceShe’s a greater little operator”I didn’t know it was written by Mickey Jupp! So I was reading today’s “Los Angeles Times” and there was an interview with Nick Lowe. And at the center of all this was Nick Lowe. Well I just learned today that Jupp’s version of the song was produced by Nick Lowe, and his band Rockpile provided the backup. As for Nick Lowe… He married and divorced Carlene Carter and then slowly faded into the woodwork.
