It seems I live my whole life either trying to do it like My Dad did, or waking up the next day saying "Sh*t, that's something My Dad woulda done." As one of seven little Indians myself (a blue collar Newfie Micmac) I love John Hiatt's humanity and grace. Thanks for reminding me to put him back near the top of the pile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-17445554414552897912010-09-28T19:11:09.224-07:002010-09-28T19:11:09.224-07:00I love that Charlie Watts line too -- priceless. ...I love that Charlie Watts line too -- priceless. And I like to think of John polishing these stories over years, throwing in new details all the time. He seemed to be having a whale of a good time, keeping us all on the edge of our seats. <br /><br />Wish I could have gone for the second night, Jillian. Maybe it was signing those bras on Saturday night that got him all loose and relaxed for Sunday's performance!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-33063421028970137462010-09-28T18:49:37.375-07:002010-09-28T18:49:37.375-07:00Wish i'd been there!

Was when he was touring with John Prine & what a bill THAT was -- he mentioned that his dad's "remote" was one of those old wooden yard sticks every house used to have laying around for some reason ... i guess back in the day you never knew when you were going to need to measure an English yard, but we had 'em, my friends houses all had 'em ...Who Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-80186082072788307512010-09-28T07:29:48.488-07:002010-09-28T07:29:48.488-07:00My other favorite John Hiatt "Dad" momen...My other favorite John Hiatt "Dad" moment is in "Slow Turning": yelling at his kids in the back seat of the car because "they're banging like Charlie Watts."<br /><br />But how great is it that John Hiatt is old enough to remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, clever enough to bring that feeling of excitement to life, and still cool enough to be signing bras after the show!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372496375739714441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-11207005652303221372010-09-28T06:02:00.300-07:002010-09-28T06:02:00.300-07:00That was such a great show, and it was great to se...That was such a great show, and it was great to see you there! I loved the Sunday night show even a little bit more; it may have been because I had slightly better seats, but he just seemed happy and relaxed and in top form. <br /><br />Alas, my bra remains unsigned...if I'd only known!Jilliannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-32165617085378219712010-09-28T03:28:06.259-07:002010-09-28T03:28:06.259-07:00I love his set-ups to that song!

I haven't been to a show in 2 yrs now, and it's killin' me!<br />I so agree that the man is tops when he's setting up a vignette in song, and "Your Dad Did" is a perfect example. You can just see the family around the table!<br /> <br />Glad you enjoyed.Natsthenamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027430649885763618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-65297813744344380962010-09-26T11:16:38.699-07:002010-09-26T11:16:38.699-07:00You got your bras signed?!!!
