He opened for Bob Schneider last night.
Here are some examples of his awesomeness:
- He covered Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield, with a mid song monologue about his Hell’s Angel uncle basically beating him up for going to a Rick Springfield concert.
- And how beaten up he would have gotten had he bought the only T-shirt they were selling at the concert, a pink tanktop!
- He played a song about high school & drinking (prefaced with “This is a true story”), that highlighted things such as Strawberry Hill Boone’s Farm and Colt 45. I was only sad that he didn’t mention Mad Dog 20/20!
- He did several songs on a teeny tiny banjo!
Laugh out loud funny at times. Serene and thoughtful at others.
His blog and tour schedule and discography, etc., can be found here. The blog is sometimes very minimal, but has its own moments of brilliance, such as this:
my dad got me this Kevin Smith book for christmas……
and i just started reading it……
it’s mostly diary-style, taking place during the pre-pre-production for Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back……
it’s got cool hollywood gossip…..
and it creates that feeling like you’re sitting there listening to him tell you the stories in person….
i’ve always liked his movies…..
never considered myself a fanatic….
but while reading this book….
i get the feeling that we’re friends now…..
no, i don’t GET the feeling…..
it seems more intuitive than that…..
i wonder what me and Kevin are gonna do tomorrow?….
