old south was fucked up. That being said I saw the Killer perform on 2 separate occasions. He was among my dad’s favorites when he was a young teen, but I always thought it neat to go see the old pioneers when they were still around. Also saw Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash. All have their special place in Rock & Roll history, personal lives and problems aside.
