  1. Musical Persecution

    I was a punk in the early eighties. When my friends and I would go to shows, especially ones in Hollywood, the heavy metal big hair guys would always have some remarks for us, and we would have something to say back. Once in awhile, they would throw stuff and then there would be a fight...

    Aint Love Grand is not the best example of their work. Check out "Los Angeles" "Wild Gift" "Under the Big Black Sun" or even "Live at the Whiskey A Go Go". That was X at their best IMHO. "See How We Are" is good too, but not like their earlier stuff...

  9. Dreams

    I used to have dreams about being in shootings on a regular basis. Something would always go wrong with my pistol, or my bullets were moving in slow motion. The nice thing was, I never got shot in my dreams and something funny or weird seemed to always happen. Have not had one of those dreams in a while....

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

    (Steve Goodman)

    David Allan Coe - 1975

    WELL, IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CRYIN'

    SOMETIMES IT SEEMED SO USELESS TO REMAIN

    BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME WAYLON JENNINGS

    AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME CHARLIE PRIDE

    AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME MERLE HAGGARD ANYMORE

    EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ON MY FIGHTIN' SIDE

    AND I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME

    AND I NEVER MINDED STANDIN' IN THE RAIN

    BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

    WELL, I'VE HEARD MY NAME A FEW TIMES IN YOUR PHONE BOOK (Hello, Hello)

    AND I'VE SEEN IT ON SIGNS WHERE I'VE PLAYED

    BUT THE ONLY TIME I KNOW I'LL HEAR "DAVID ALLAN COE"

    IS WHEN JESUS HAS HIS FINAL JUDGMENT DAY

    SO I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME

    AND I NEVER MINDED STANDIN' IN THE RAIN

    BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

    SPOKEN:

    WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG AND

    HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG. I WROTE

    HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY

    & WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA,

    OR TRAINS, OR TRUCKS, OR PRISON, OR GETTIN' DRUNK. WELL HE SAT

    DOWN AND WROTE ANOTHER VERSE TO THE SONG AND HE SENT IT TO ME,

    AND AFTER READING IT, I REALIZED THAT MY FRIEND HAD WRITTEN THE

    PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG. AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT

    ON THIS ALBUM. THE LAST VERSE GOES LIKE THIS HERE:

    WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON

    AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN

    BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK

    SHE GOT RUNNED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN

    AND I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME

    AND I NEVER MINDED STANDIN' IN THE RAIN

    NO, A' YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME

    WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON'T CALL ME

    WHY DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME
