It's on that thread "sites to download live music." I think its the Boarding House show from 1975. Then everyone can here and like it or not like it. Not a bad song, not one of my favorites either, but definitly doesn't shock me or offend me. I've read way worse stuff like Tropic of Cancer or Naked Lunch.

It's just art and it doesn't neccessarly(sp?) have to be his point-of-view. Just because it's sung in the first person, it's still art and could be the character he's trying to portray through the song. Maybe he was singin about the type of person who checks out 15 year old chicks. People shouldn't take everything the man sings to be his own exploits. He's a storyteller and an entertainer. And sometimes first person is the best narrative pov to use.

The CoBo lyrics are slightly off. I think the BN lyric base is correct - take her to go see The Rolling Stones, not go read a Rolling Stone. And on and on.

Didn't Jimmy get requested to play this song on the Havana Dayreamin' tour with the Stump The Band thing? I recall reading about that - and he played it.

I think the reason (this is my own thinking here) he left it off the record is it sounds way too much like a Jesse Winchester song. It's almost exactly the same.

I have a copy of it from Napster.

And I love the song - I'm still surprised it wasn't included on BBBB.

Fingers Taylor played in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago with Jim Asbell. Before the song Jim and Fingers were talking about it and Fingers mentioned that this song was written after a show at the old Southeast Music Hall in Atlanta. I asked Fingers why they didn't release it and he said it was just "Jimmy's call". By the way, Jim and Fingers did a smoking version of this song that night.

He did do it during the stump the band and played at several shows in '75 when it came out. I didn't know it was on some copies of Havana, but if that's true...you'd have to think some record exec got wind of it and pulled it. Only those that were involved know and someday maybe he'll tell us.
