Nothin from nothing leaves nothin.

[Gil Bang 25907]

heh.  I'm a huge Preston fan myself.  What a fucking talent.  Never had a lesson.  Just a natural, and cool as shit too.  It's a shame he had to be closeted for most of his life.

I didn't know DAC would be so popular. I can post more.

Which one is David Allan Coe?

You should have asked, "Oh by the way which one's David Allen Coe?"

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

 

None of these is David Allen Coe.

[PencilPusher 454]

No, that picture shows a Hammond being played by a Reggie

 

As opposed to Reggie Hammond

[Underdog 28544]

[BoomMF 1398]

I can't tell who's singing. Is that David Allan Coe?

Fuck that dude.

[Kennythetiger 9374]

Bruce Springsteen, maybe?

In honor of Mick's 75th birthday...

In honor of Mick's 75th birthday...

 

Just finished Keef's autobiography, Life, and he talks about the moment he met Chuck, one of his idols, as being a real letdown. Says Chuck bigtimed them. Acted like a prick.

 

I wonder if he and Mick are talking about farts in that pic...

 

[jimmyjazz 45880]

Chuck bigtimed everybody.  I recorded a local drummer many years ago who got tabbed to back up Chuck at Aquafest or some such.  As per usual, no rehearsal, and as per usual, total screaming at the band after the show, threatening not to pay them, etc.

Keith Richards discovered Johnnie Johnson (piano) did not receive songwriting credits and encouraged Johnson to sue. Irreparably damaging the Berry / Johnson relationship.

Then there was the backstage punch incident.

A young Bruce Springsteen played backup for Berry and said the tuning was way out of whack. Impossible to follow.

Two seats on an airplane. One for Chuck, one for the guitar. 

Cash only, paid in advance before walking onstage. Little wonder he did time for tax evasion. 

And there was that pervy toilet and transporting underage girl thing.

[jimmyjazz 45880]

Aretha subscribed to the cash only, up front policy too.  She's put the money in her purse and put the purse on the piano.  I can't blame her.

Follow that, Killer...

 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9323]

Start around 3:30 to hear Nils describe how Chuck Berry intentionally made an absolute shambles of a song just to embarrass an A-list backup band including Bruce, most of the E Street Band, Chrissie Hynde, GE Smith and others during a RnR HOF anniversary concert in the early '90s.

Tonight on CNN I learned Abbott and Costello stole that bit from other Vaudevillians. And now you know the rest of the story.

For those that don't know that's Ed counting down at the beginning and that's his riff.
