When people say that I tell them they’re mixing up this song with “Ohio”.
Whatever I think of Young’s politics, he’s one of the very, very few libs who isn’t a hypocrit, and he puts his money where his mouth is.
I must be the only person who is just as interested that Leon Russell is going to play at this thing. Really enjoy his stuff.
You're not alone. Saw him a couple years ago at a local performance. Walks with a cane but still has the stuff. Some oldies, some new. Played for hours.
I get out Mad Dogs and Eng (Joe Cocker) every few months. Leon arranged most all of it. A great American talent.
“I must be the only person who is just as interested that Leon Russell is going to play at this thing. Really enjoy his stuff.”
Saw him about 1978 at Universal Ampitheater doing “The Leon and Mary Russell Show” which was great, and about 1993 at the Coach House, opening for BB King.
Russell has had a long career. Would be interesting to see if he still has what it takes.
The 1993 (approx.) BB King Tour was to have ended his touring career, because he was 65 or something like that. We know he is still going, beyond 80 and with diabetes.
So these 60s guys are just kids, by comparison.
