So when I finally got to see him in concert for the first time in Halifax Nova-Scotia, on 10/24/87. I knew he had quit drinking Labor Day 1982, and he was a class act.
Can only imagine what I've missed thru the 70's.  |
Hi, JJ! Nothing bad, he was just much LOOSER than he normally is and would also pretend to fall off the piano bench, stuff like that...he wasn't so swacked he couldn't do the "Auctioneer," which I couldn't do totally sober, ever! I was pretty naive back then and wasn't offended...(was I ever THAT young?@? LOL) The only reason I remember is because other people gasped and then laughed so hard because they weren't expecting it from him.
Some people would even take offense at the hair (hare) on the rabbit joke - you know? I wish some people would just LIGHTEN UP - we're all getting 'way too serious here!!!
