I was in a ska band in high school, and we played this song at the school twice. After the first time, the school administration requested we censor a few lines, notably "I'll even cut my lyrics off for you."
Close, but sadly no. The fedora was green, and the shoes were black converse with white-out checkers.
The administration was actually fairly reasonable about it. It was being broadcast on the school's TV station, and they had fcc concerns so they cut the end our performance of that one song. For future performances they asked for playlists in advance. We thought they would object to the song because it is about lesbians, but it was just the line about cutting off your penis that they felt was about self-harm. So we changed it to "lyrics" for the next show. They didn't cut the broadcast for How's My Driving, Doug Hastings, or Stuff, but asked us not to play either one again. I think we snuck Doug Hastings in as an encore once, but didn't face any repercussions.
Honestly, it was a long time ago so I might have the details wrong.
I don't know acoustics as well as electrics, but Neil Young is known for being very, very loyal to the guitars he uses on stage, so the random forums and interviews all seem to agree:
His main acoustics are a Martin D-45 that he got in '67, a pre-war D-18, and a D-28.
The source is a forum post that seems to be quoting a guitar tech that worked with him and Crazy Horse in the 80's.
I'm 52 and I saw DK when Jello was singing with them. Yes, I know punk has always been political and woke. I was being sarcastic. I figured of all bands to be sarcastic about going woke, DK was probably the most obvious. It's not like they did anything other than that.
No worries. Its sad that people are so dumb they think bands like DK or Crass could ever be "middle goround" on political shit. I can see them going after Leftover Crack saying they were good before they took a leftist stand on housing. It's got us all a little jumpy.
I think John actually did drive a bus for a while? Not sure if I read or dreamed that
I remember reading something like that too, but have no source.
it’s cannoncanon now.
A cannon fires projectiles, a canon is an accepted body of related works. NBD, but I have this weird compulsion to correct misused homonyms, so...sorry? You're welcome? Either way, have a great day, fellow John K. Samson fan!
Cannon and canon are interchangeable as of this moment,and that's cannon now, and if anyone has an issue with that my response will be from the mouthes of my canons.
