Does This Guy Beat Beatle Bob?

Post by Jon Light (deceased) »

I am willing to expose myself here (relax) in the interest of showing this guy. This was the Farm Aid show I played Saturday, Jimmy Nations Combo, Union Square, NYC. I was aware of this guy but was too busy to really watch him. 90 something degrees in the shade, if you could find it, and this dude's in full batman duds dancing up a storm.
I am reasonably ok with about 20% of what I play here and the rest is....what it is.

Holey Underwear!
He's good and keen. I like how the top half is Batman and the bottom is Bruce Wayne.
Did you check the takings from the show? He may have been providing a distraction while his side-kick was
`Robin` you.

I wish I was reasonably OK with 20% of what I played at any given time... :lol:

Seriously though, the rockabilly groovin' sounded good to me!

Hey, let's take up a collection to send him to ISGC next year, and he can work the opposite speaker from Beatle Bob! It would be sooo coool, kinda like the old days of havin' Go-Go dancers on either side of the stage! :D

Although I like Jim's idea, after due consideration I believe that Billy W is correct, rendering Jim's idea a bit difficult.

So could Batman's secret identity be Beatle Bob, or is it the other way around?

Perhaps it's Elvis under the mask. The last few seconds were certainly Elvis moves. I know he was heavier, but dancing in the heat in that costume would certainly melt away the cheeseburgers.

I enjoyed the music too. Way to go, Light'nin!

Joey; I don't think Elvis is very heavy these days.
