chou chope

at the end of this sunday morning gospel show, a couple of old hippies danced barefoot out into the middle of the stage...the lady jumped up on the old man, straddling him and they proceeded to dry hump to the end of the song...so austin, always a difficult place to make sense of religion..freakalicious, though, 24-7

in this shot he's playing the saw...if you've not seen or heard this, by golly, get yourself to a show immediately..or buy an album, it's awesome..

plus, he plays a variety of music..so even if the sound of the saw doesn't appeal to you, you will enjoy the show, i know it..

i think i first saw guy playing on sixth street my senior year of college. austin was a great town to go to school in..and guy was fresh off the boat from kansas city..when i say he played on six street, i mean on the street..the boy didn't have a gig, so he sang and played and people like me wandered by and thought, jeez, this is the best talent on the block..

guy is the maker of my favorite albums: needle gun, steak, and voices inside..he also sings a song titled "why'd ya' go and fuck it all up?" a cappella style while roaming through the audience..he has an incredible voice..

like all men, perhaps, he's flawed..extremely liberal, he referred to me once as his most conservative fan..he has a sticker on his car that says "lick bush" and for some perverse reason, it just endears him to me..what can i say? opposites attract..

anyway, his tour schedule is always over there on my sidebar..if you're planning a trip to texas or denmark or sporadically nyc..please do go see guy forsyth, you will be happy you did..

his newest album is due out august 23rd everywhere..Love Songs: For & Against..i'm hoping to hell this song made the cut, because like music often does, it says it so much better than i can..bloggerific blogbuddies, this one is for you...from me via guy forsyth..
