I'm sure he was drunk as a skunk.

One usually doesn't need to be drunk to get 'nekkid' as a jaybird in public, but it does help.

Crop-o-rama in Gatorville? Let me guess: From the inside of Idlewild South?

I'm not sure, Carl. I can't keep track of all his nekkid pictures, and I don't have an Idlewild South LP. I do recollect that someone asked him either why he kept doing that, or about the Boz Scaggs pics in particular, and he said it was from being drunk.

yeah it's from Idlewild South...but it could be an outake. DRUNK ???

I am pretty sure most of us here have been drunk before...Jim Beam makes me want to go hunt something, not get nekkid.


I think the 'drunk again' answer was a cover.

All those grins tell me one thing...

DUNG-Fungus !!

There was also a chemical on the streets around that time known as 'Woodstock', appropriately named..because evidently everyone who tried it wound up nekkid. I wouldn't know..

BUT as a side note...

I have officially changed my mind about some 'lurid'
history concerning Duane and drugs/motorcycles.
While I am certain that my hero, DA, did get high, to say the least... I don't think he could have accomplished half of what he did, had he been as messed up as some would like to propose. Nah...

I'm ten years younger than Duane, and MADE my first guitar...out of a cigar box, a yardstick and rubber bands (i was 7)suffice it to say, I like guitars ! (btw the finest collection of guitars is in Roy Acuff's guitar museum in Nashville..I spent an hour with Mr. Acuff AT the museum on Easter Sunday 1988) .. Duane handled more *Holy Grail* guitars BEFORE he was 20, than most avid guitar collectors do in a lifetime.

I say this, because I think they were stoned on mushrooms, and that's why they all got nekkid. But I didn't want to splack drugs all over them again.

nah, DA was all about the music...all that other stuff was fun, but it wasn't like his 59.

Donnah,

Speaking of Boz Scaggs, first time I'm listening to the album in a while, and Duane really owns the tracks he appears on. ''Now You're Gone'', ''Finding Her''. . . Damn

YO, if you want to hear a really smokin' tune find Sam Samudio's album "Hard and Heavy". The song, 'Goin' Upstairs' is on Anthology II but the song 'Relativity' has some intense slide that will just flat out put you down. Duane had it hitting on all cylinders. I always wondered how much of 'Loan Me A Dime' got cut off the end of the Boz Scaggs album. The intensity just keeps building; I always turned it up full blast at the end just to hear every note.

Thanks, Willard. I'll look into it. Is ''Me and Bobby Mcgee'' on this album???

Posted by: YO at June 5, 2006 11:49 AM

No YO, 'Me and Bobby McGee' isn't on this and Duane is only on the 2 cuts mentioned. I'll never know why 'Goin Upstairs' was used instead of 'Relativity' though any Duane song has its merits, 'Relativity' has that intense burning slide that could have made DAA II a more popular album. I always wanted to acquire the albums that Duane performed on at Muscle Shoals just to hear his different styles, but at this point in my life it will probably never happen.
