  • Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop for Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media
    Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop For Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media Author: Steve Roby Showdate : Feb. 18, 2015 Performance Venue : Yoshi’s Oakland Bay Area legend Dan Hicks performed to a sold-out crowd at Yoshi’s on Wednesday. The audience was made up of his loyal fans (Hicksters) who probably first heard his music on KSAN, Jive 95, back in 1969. At age 11, Hicks started out as a drummer, and was heavily influenced by jazz and Dixieland music, often playing dances at the VFW. During the folk revival of the ‘60s, he picked up a guitar, and would go to hootenannies while attending San Francisco State. Hicks began writing songs, an eclectic mix of Western swing, folk, jazz, and blues, and eventually formed Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. His offbeat humor filtered its way into his stage act. Today, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Hicks sums up his special genre as “Caucasian hip-hop.” Over four decades later, Hicks still delivers a unique performance, and Wednesday’s show was jammed with many great moments. One of the evenings highlights was the classic “I Scare Myself,” which Hicks is still unclear if it’s a love song when he wrote it back in 1969. “I was either in love, or I’d just eaten a big hashish brownie,” recalled Hicks. Adding to the song’s paranoia theme, back-up singers Daria and Roberta Donnay dawned dark shades while Benito Cortez played a chilling violin solo complete with creepy horror movie sound effects.

  • Homeless Brother by Don Mclean, Released in 1974 on the Album Homeless Brother
    Homeless Brother by Don McLean, released in 1974 on the album Homeless Brother I was walking by the graveyard, late last Friday night, I heard somebody yelling, it sounded like a fight. It was just a drunken hobo dancing circles in the night, Pouring whiskey on the headstones in the blue moonlight. So often have I wondered where these homeless brothers go, Down in some hidden valley were their sorrows cannot show, Where the police cannot find them, where the wanted man can go. There's freedom when your walkin', even though you're walkin' slow. Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can, That homeless brother is my friend. It's hard to be a pack rat, it's hard to be a 'bo, But livin's so much harder where the heartless people go. Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to know That Jesus on the highway was a lost hobo. And they hear the holy silence of the temples in the hill, And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of thrill. And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him the chill, And they're sad to do their livin' for some other kind of thrill. Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you can, That homeless brother is my friend. Somewhere there was a woman, somewhere there was a child, Somewhere there was a cottage where the marigolds grew wild. But some where's just like nowhere when you leave it for a while, You'll find the broken-hearted when you're travellin' jungle-style.

  • "Blues in the Night" Written by Rev
    "Blues In The Night" Written By Rev. Suzanne Meyer Ireland's venerable rock band U2 is led by singer Bono. If you are not a rock fan you may know him as the debt relief advocate, a socially conscious musician, "the most secular of saints" according to Time magazine, and the winner of four Grammy Awards. Improbable as it may seem, he is also the author of an introduction to the Hebrew Psalms. As it turns out, Bono is a longtime fan of King David, the ancient Hebrew ruler who is said to have written the Psalms. This is an excerpt from Bono's introduction to the Psalms, published by Grove Press. Bono recalls: “At age 12, I was a fan of David. He felt familiar, like a pop star could feel familiar. The words of the Psalms were as poetic as they were religious, and he was a star—(a dramatic character, because) before David could fulfill the prophecy and become the king of Israel, he had to take quite a beating. He was forced into exile and ended up in a cave in some no-name border town facing the collapse of his ego and abandonment by God. But this is where the soap opera got interesting. This is where David was said to have composed his first Psalm—a blues. That's what a lot of the Psalms feel like to me—the blues. Man shouting at God—"My God, my God, why has Thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me?" (Psalm 22).
