If I ever lived to be 76, I'd only want to if I could be like
LINK WRAY! HOLY SHIT! HOW AMAZING!
BB King's also has a fantastic hamburger. It isn't of silver spurs size, but it's ANGUS which makes it infinitely cool. On to the show.
There was an opening band, the RockAts or something, and they were cool, for a band with an accordion player. The Bassist was an upright player with a cool hat, the drummer had a rad bowling shirt, and the guitarist played a gretsch. That's all you need to know.
20 minutes and a fantastic burger later, HE enters the stage, with a vintage sunburst strat, very awesome, and he opens up with "Rumble". A few great songs later, he gets the great idea to hand his guitar to random audience members, most of which suck, and one of which was the most infuriatingly stupid and ugly woman ever, she couldn't even clap in rhythm for god's sake. She should be killed with a brick. Anyway, his guitar breaks, so he throws it onto the ground and starts giving autographs, the second of which he gives to me. Some guy named Jon Paris takes the stage and sings a few Elvis numbers, with Link doing some nice Scotty Moore guitarwork. He closes with "Rumble" again and throws his other guitar on the ground as well. During the show, he must have talked about his son being his boss about 10 times. I shall sum it all up with a haiku:
Link Wray is the best
Dazzles his crowds with his style
Original Punk.
