Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hey Joe
Subject: RE: hey joe
Can't resist....One of the best live music performances I've ever seen was Ian Svenonius (sort of heroin pop) playing Hendrix'es-or-whoever's 'Hey Joe' in this tiny little place called the Ottobar in Baltimore. An unemployed WWF guy called 'The Vortex' came in to crash the show, and actually started climbing across the audience to get onstage. We (The audience) moved en masse to eject Mr. Vortex, since the Ottobar has no bouncers...not a song I will quickly forget. Interesting that the lyrics can survive through so many different musical scenes, so many subcultures...
