I never realized you were going to Knoxville, stoger. Had I, would have told you to look out for Shelby. We met her at Track 29 around 2011. I befriended her while we were waiting for the show to start. I keep up with her on FB and she posted this outstanding picture of her and Lu. She said Lu remembered her.

Good job, CB 8)
Thanks, lefty! Happy to take the burden off the Professor.
It was so cool to witness the history. 😀
The Professor, I might add, zipped in after a day of classes, and zipped away just as fast [we’re not worthy], but not before he slipped a cup of wine or two in my hands.

Here’s my take: june bugs and hurricanes are both drinks. When she sings “june bug vs. hurricane,” she is mulling over what drink she wants to have to try to drown out the memory of her lost lover. The song to me is all about choices, big and small. And I am always left wondering if she regrets the choice she made on the heights of that bridge.
Layered, atmospheric, dripping with Southern imagery, heart-wrenching… this is my favorite Lucinda Williams song.
This isn’t stoger punking us with a new handle?
Actually, welcome, lulover to the Friendly Forum! Stoger is our resident FF professor as an FYI. 🙂
I had no idea June Bug was a drink. Interesting take on the drinks and drowning out the memory of her lost lover. I always assumed it was rival gangs since the context of the song was inspired by Birney Imes’ book of photographs titled “Juke Joints” and several that caught Lu’s eye.
This blog (I think either I posted this in the past or another FF member did and I read it) brings up the drink choices as well.

Again, welcome!
Dawn, great recap! It’s on my bucket list to see Lu at HOB in NOLA. I hope one day to check it off.
Thanks for the Mother’s Day best wishes. Too bad you can’t make Nashville!
Found April 14 show on setlist.fm

I’m in catch up mode.
Thanks so much for posting, tonyg, and major kudos to TO for giving us all the inside info.

Send me a PM if you still would like a copy. A friend of mine has a record store and will ship anywhere in the U.S.
