Ok no messing around, we’re going to a Georgia Satellites gig tonight. It is gonna be a blast. I never caught these guys live (A big music regret) but we are rectifying that right now. By all accounts they put on a no holds barred show. By the look and sound of the video below I believe that. A rock n roll concert doesn’t get any better.
They dig out this gem and give it their spin with the ghosts of the early Beatles bar gigs. I hear Lennon’s vocals coming out of Rick Richards. Man it’s rock n roll made for CB. 2 minutes and 15 seconds of pure rock n roll pandemonium.
So sign up and we’ll pick you up in the Boneshaker ( bus ). Our buddy deKE is all hopped up on caffeine and driving the 26 window sedan with the 8-Track blaring. We have Max riding shotgun just in case. We’re heading for wherever the Satellites are playing and we are going to have too much fun. So yeah, I’m flush so I have the cocktails and fried chicken taken care of. We are going to have a blast!
Hope it was a great one CB. I love these guys and didn’t know they were still a band.

I dont think they are Phil. I’m just messing around fella. making it up as I go to wherever I’m going. You must have done the Hippy Shake back in the day.

Yep, Momo and I did just that. If we did it today, it would mean a trip to the ER for a broken hip or worse. Don’t matter that you made it up, let us know how the made up concert sounded. Tall tales are bitchen (1960s surf lingo) Curious in Texas. Also, half the stuff I write is made up, but Ima sure you know that.

Why i like you buddy. My gal is an original Hippy. Found her at an outdoor concert twirling around getting dizzy. Sort of like your latest take.

Ha! That’s great; twirling and swirling. Yeah, Momo did a bit of that herself. We havn’t attended an outdoor concert since the Pop Fesitval, too darn hot in Texas for outside music. We are going to the Granbury Opery House on the 30th to see the Liverpool Legends, a tribute to the Beatles and Momo will be wearing a hippy type of outfit she made. For one night only, I will be calling her Suzy Creamcheese.

I think a repost of your Boss concert from way back is getting in order. I think the folks would like that. Get in the time machine and catch that gig. You’ll have to wear the same duds.

And I always thought the song was by the early Beatles.

Funny how that worked. They covered a lot of songs back then. Made hits and made them their own. Later on everybody covered their material.

Well that will get you moving on a Saturday morning. This is the version that was released in 1988 I think? Honestly I’ve listened to dozens of versions of this song, this and The Beatles are the top two for sure. Good stuff CB and deKE!

Dude…yea I’ll ride shotgun! I love these guys but you know that! I first heard Keep Your Hands to Yourself from a local band with my friend…they got a bootleg of it before it was released…what a great band they were.
Great live cut of them…another band that is seriously underrated…they rocked the 80s and they were a light in the dark dude!

I know that and I know you’d love the Lennon vibe. Yes they were a great band and “seriously underrated”. They still are a “light” Max. Keeps my faith in good rock n roll.
Keep that deKE guy between the lines.
