yyyeah...we're gonna leave now...
Ro-Fav and I went to Hideout tonight 'cause we're cool like that. I had no idea who was playing. It's not Tuesday, so I know it wasn't the badass 2-man band with the overalls, kazoo, guitars, and washboard.
We got there and on stage was this homeless lookin' ass mo-fo. We quietly crept in and claimed the empty table at the front. The only thing darker than us in there was perhaps the room itself, which was lit mostly by yellow Christmas lights and candles.
The hobo dude, whose name turned out to be Otis Gibbs was pretty badass. My favorite song was the last song he sang...he called it a waltz. I looked it up, it's called "karluv most." I fell in love with the melody he played on the guitar...it kinda took me out of the room, and onto a moonlit garden in my head, where I sit geniuinely laughing.
Another song he sang that I liked for the words was called "i wanna change it." He is singing to the woman he loves about the world, telling her it is not too late to change it, and that if they wanted to, they could change it, and that he wants to change it with her. He was a good lyricist, witty, scary lookin as hell, but very talented with his INDIA/FOLK/AMERICANA music.
After he was done, the "main act" came on stage. Initially, we couldn't tell the "main act's" gender, but later found out it was the talentless Tom House. Well, let's not say talentless, he was OK on the guitar. BUT WOW, vocals? Not-s'much.
So what do you do when you are OBVIOUSLY thoroughly enjoying the first act, but then the 2nd act comes up, and he sucks ass, but you're sitting right up front, and you know like 48 seconds into the FIRST song that you probably won't make it through any more of this shit, but you don't want to hurt his feelings????
We did the polite thing, stayed for a few songs, taking comfort in our beers and in the fact that we really liked Otis Gibbs. But ya better believe we kinda slipped out of our chairs, and peaced out while crazy was on stage.
Otis was sitting right behind us. I made sure to let him know how much he rocked.
