Yesterdays and Used to Be's

The second of two consecutive nights at the Canal Street Tavern. This show was opened by Peter Cooper and joins Todd starting with Back to the Crossroads. After the first few songs, Todd addresses the crowd: "You all are so much less drunk tonight than you were last night." He then reiterates his goal of surpassing eighteen minutes in between the songs, "in the year 2007 [he's] gonna do nineteen minutes!" As Todd tells the story of Lonely Girl, he mentions that "every few years [he] gets to go to one of them drug hospitals. This story includes a classic line from Todd that we've heard before as he discusses differences between his wife and himself: "I'll say 'tomato', she'll say 'go fuck yourself.'" It's been a while since Todd has told the extended version of the Trog story, which is told on this evening. During this story, Todd mentions that the Ballad of the Devil's Backbone Tavern was written about four years after his time with Trog while he was "living on the floor of the girls' dorm at Rhodes College." As Todd goes on with his tale of the Devil's Backbone Tavern, he discuss the roughnecks he encountered and tells of his fear due to being a peaceful guy: "I'm not a fighter person. Like if something in the show makes you mad and you want to beat me up, you're gonna be able to do that." Anywhere is played and Todd says that the second verse of the song was written "a long time ago" in the dressing room at the Canal Street Tavern. At one point in this show, Todd gets several requests from the crowd to which he responds, "I'm gonna do all that shit. B-double-E-double-R-U-N, conservative Christians."

On Ballad of the Kingsmen:

• "And now he gets a lot of chicks. They're weird chicks. But they're chicks."

On Tension:

• "People still dig drugs. Even Rush Limbaugh. He was high enough to get into the Grateful Dead but he just didn't try it I guess."
• "Gay people getting married. That's what scares people who have entirely too much time on their hands these days. Maybe it bugs you... "

On Doublewide Blues:

• "I don't get out much since the reenactment of the Michael Jackson trial's been on."

On Alright Guy:

• "New book with pictures of Jack Ingrum naked..."
