Drive-By-Trucker's Expectations

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

See if you can beat this story.
 
 We were on the balcony, with rail spots. This nut job was dancing around harassing people around us. He was bumping into everybody, myself included. We did our bet to ignore him and watch the show. The next thing I know, he's seated on the risers behind me, and starts repeatedly biting my ass cheek. I turned around and slapped him in the head, and he looked at me and exclaimed, "I just wanted to eat some ass."
 
 He's lucky he didn't do that to a homophobic redneck. If that had been the case, he could have ended up with some serious injuries.

There are a couple of lossless versions of the show here. (No membership or password required.)

Hey WLSLM. I was behind you at the show, i think. I saw that weird dude bite you. I was very impressed with the club for ejecting him. An excellent show in all!

I'd like to know how much beer was sold @ this show.
 
 And hopefully the AC was broken. Because that was one of the most thick days I can remember in DC (maybe I've just acclimated to life outside the dirty south) and that was before stepping into an even more hot/humid packed nightclub.
 
 Still a great show by a GREAT band. Not the same band I used to watch in half full tiny clubs, but it's been fun to watch them achieve arena rock readiness.
 
 Moonlight Mile was superb.

That is priceless! I will not even attempt to top that one. Of all the things I can say have happened at shows over the last 25 years...I've never ONCE been bitten in the ass!...I got there right as the band was going on,dumped my extra ticket outside in about one minute.....the place was sweltering hot!......the band just seemed to be rolling with the crowd.....and we were having a great time.....I could barely get in the door by the merch table at the beginning....I stayed there for about 45 minutes and then grabbed a beer and headed upstairs....I was on the right side facing the stage on the third step up with some college jam band fans who were really toasted.....one hell of a show,but I still miss seeing them at IOTA and Fletchers.....

DBT are my alltime favorites (or one of them). SO pissed I was out of town this weekend. Thanks for the comments on the show, you all. I'm listening to NPR recording right now.
 
 I've been watching this band grow for years. They will always represent for me a band that writes from the heart and live what they write... write what they live. It's all real. It's all rock.
 
 What I dig most is the fact that they have three amazing songwriters. All different and all have their strengths. No stepping on toes... they step aside and let the truth come alive.
 
 OK. I'm preaching. sorry.
 
 ROCK.

I don't know if I completely buy into the whole Truckers living what they write about bullshit.
 
 Patterson Hood is the son of David Hood, Stax session bassist extraordinairre.
 
 Granted, that doesn't mean he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. But I'm also willing to bet he grew up as a typical punk rock loving middle class kid, not some scruffy loser who gets his sister pregnant. I'll bet he doesn't have a 350 lb mom who married a trucker named "Chester" either.

Johnny Cash never really shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

His name wasn't Sue, either.

He did once crawl deep into a cave hoping to die.
