Got a call from Pool Hall Stud Marky G late today. He whined that he copped a last-minute weekend Key West gig with the lovely and talented Maureen and offered up a couple of hot Radiators tix for tonight's Farewell Tour concert at the Stage One in Fairfield. Apparently, after he went down his list of possibilities and, just after the drunken child molester on the corner turned them down, his gave me a holla. The Reet just got back from her annual week-long Hall Pass with Bette, so we had to, with regrets, turn them down. I saw those venerable old Radiators for the first time in New Orleans back in 1989 at Tipitina's. I had no idea who the Radiators were at the time and I was pissed that the Neville Brothers weren't playing that night. But while sipping on a couple of ice cold Dixies, I soon became a huge fan. They usually close Jazz Fest opposite the Nevilles; gotta catch them for the last time this Spring. Suck the head, squeeze the tip, y'all:
