For those who missed the Seattle poster, it's for sale now. I was super bummed they were all sold out the night of the concert. Found the creator's IG (@sashabarr) which led me to their web store. I've been checking for weeks ever since the show, and it's always been OoS. I checked tonight and it's available for sale again. Get it while you can!
For years, I wondered what John Prine’s involvement in the writing of “A Good Look” was. During the show in Indianapolis, at the end of Scooter Blues, JBS revealed the origins of the song’s first verse, which was written by John Prine. Apparently John left JBS a note with the first line of the song at the Butcher Shoppe in Nashville.
Here’s a basic transcript taken from Nugs recording.
“This is a song called ‘A Good Look’. A long time ago, there use to be a studio in Nashville called the Butcher Shoppe. It was co-owned by a good buddy of mine, David Ferguson, and a good buddy of mine who is no longer with us named, John Prine.
There was uh, in the back of the studio, there was a little room we called the ‘Writing Room’. There was a snooker table, and a drum kit in there, and a little table, and a juke box, an old Wurlitzer. And I kept some notebooks in there. I don’t think I ever actually wrote anything in that room, but John and I would take turns leaving little notes for each other. We were never in the room at the same time over like four years. It was a weird thing. I come in and find these little riddles and scribbles he left. The first verse of this song is one of those scribbles I found. And I thought, ‘That’s pretty clever.’”
I’m thinking the Eugene show has the strongest, clean/dirty feel of the tour
I recently finished a fun journey that I found 3 years ago by listening to an album from a book titled “1001 Albums To Listen To Before You Die”. Luckily for the internet and Reddit, I also found an online generator that is updated with each new version of the book, so you also get the ones that were removed from previous versions. What’s the reward for listening to 5 albums of Leonard Cohen without suicide one may ask? Adding your very own album to a user submitted list of people who have finished all the albums(1089). You can even start a group journey with your friends if you choose. Anyways I love music and Sturg is the best and I figured there is someone like me who would also enjoy something like this and add another one of his gems to the list and get this guy some more exposure if he even needs it. I added A Sailor’s Guide.
