Do you think that is a matter of geography, age, or both??? :D

Philadelphia used to have a Memorial Day "Jam on the River". The Destroyers were playing and apparently there was some pre-event "discussions" about the quality of the sound equipment between the bands and the folks running the show. However, in the middle of the set, George called out the person responsible for this issue BY NAME and chastized him from the stage.

But he is no longer a local boy. While the core of the Destroyers has remained relatively local, GT got married and moved to CA.

Oh that poor, poor woman!

Maybe she liked the fact that he was "bad to the bone!" :eek:

For someone who made their money in honky tonks and county fairs, thats a prety mild story. :cool:

George was in a good mood on Friday. My wife really enjoyed him so it's always nice to have the wife happy.

My uncle lives on the next road over from where he grew up. I worked at a bar/restaurant around the corner from this house for over 10 years, hung out and traveled with a band that often intermingled with the Destroyers.

I was once drinking at a bar (Red Eye II) on the Main Line outside of Philly with Billy Blough (when he was single and before he got "healthy"). We were sitting there listening to this guy bragging to his friends about how he knew GT&D and partied with them all the time. We had a little laugh because we knew what was going to happen. In the second set of the night, the band announced they were going to be joined by a member of the Destroyers, obviously, Billy who got off the bar stool and just smiled at this guy. Boy, this guy got so small he could have passed for a Munchkin as his frieds just beat him up relentlessly.

I've seen GT walk across enough tables and bars to last a lifetime.

Cool. Those are the stories I like to hear about.
