The original "Walk Away Renee" came out during the summer of '66 ... I was 14 years old and had the hots for a neighbor girl named Renee Kellogg. She was an "older woman" of 17 and gave me my first "serious" kissing lessons ... AND let me feel her boobies! Once she even flashed me her hooha ... but I never touched it!
Oh to be young again ....
Anyway, that summer was a major learning experience and I remember it ALL like it was just yesterday. Once school started she hooked up with a Senior who had his own car. Dammit!
Here's the "real" Renee (Renee Fladen-Kamm) whom the song was written about.
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...WOW, What a Ride!"
