http://www.jameyjohnson.com/home/ Well. This was my initial visit to see Jamey. I wasn’t here to see him but to really take in the whole festival. I had so many favorites here it was tough to pick out when to even go take a bathroom break or a beer run. Trust me the beer was great even if it was a bit pricey…On one of my beer runs I was stopped by five guys although I am not sure why they picked me as I walked briskly past their circle in my Pointer Brand Overalls near my favorite craft beer tap in Saratoga Springs. I was asked by the guy who seemed to be the alpha dude “My buddies and I have a bet we are going ask you to settle.” I am thinking to my self…how do they know I know bluegrass from blues? This is really random….He grinned and started singing a line that went “and the colored girls go…” He then says I bet it is Joe Walsh! I looked back at him and grinned looking through my Oakley’s barely pausing in my stride…and said “WRONG! “LOU REED…WALK ON THE WILD SIDE!” The guys were jumping up and down slapping their knees as I ran off….I was grinning and laughing…And with that I ran to the beer tap as to not miss the next act on stage as the stage crew could fly through set changes. They were awesome with logistics…as fast as any I have ever seen!
Lou Reed “Walk on the Wild Side”
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, “Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side.”
I said, “Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side.”
And the colored girls say,
“Doo do doo do doo do do doo…”
