Just heard 'Fool for the City' and nearly cried my eyes out, because it just freaking rocked my ass off in it's span of four plus minutes.
Dave prevert (RIP) never got any respect, but his songs were tailor-made for fist pumping, blues soaked, arena rock anthems.
Every morning before first hour Biology (tenth grade) a guy named Donnie Roller would blast "Stone Blue" from his beat up El Camino! Him and his stoner buddies would be tokin' it up out in the parking lot before school and blastin the tunes. Should have saw him with his huge white boy fro!
Stone Blue!
I always liked Foghat. Good slide geetar music. Had Foghat Live growing up and Fool For The City (still do) R.I.P. Lonesome Dave Peverett
Yikes, i knew i spelled Dave's name all wrong.
Ya think he was teased with Peverret the Pervert?
Well I feel so lonesome - you'll hear me when I moan,
Yes, I feel so lonesome - you'll hear me when I moan,
Who been drivin' my Terraplane - for you since I been gone.
I'd said I'll flash your lights, mama - and the horn won't even blow,
I even flash my lights, mama - and this horn won't even blow,
I got a short in this connection - way way down below.
The coils ain't even buzzin' - the generator won't get that far.
All in a bad condition, I gotta have the batteries charged.
I'm cryin', please - plea-hease don't do me wrong,
Who been drivin' my Terraplane ...
Slow Ride ~~ 1978
