Monday's song

Uneasy Rider - The Charlie Daniels Band
While this song from 1973 may be fictitious, there is at least one element of truth in it: Charlie Daniels did know a guy with green teeth! This #9 charting hit is hilarious, along the lines of 'Alice's Restaurant', but without all the length. As Charlie himself explained it: "I used to do a little bit of record producing. I used to produce a group called the Youngbloods that were headquartered at San Francisco. And we were doing a live album, and we did part of it at the Fillmore East and West, and we did part of what used to be called a Rock festival, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It was one of those big three-day affairs where everybody in the world played. And that day I think it was the Youngbloods and the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane, and I don't know who else.
And all these people were there at the motel. And they were these long-haired hippie-type people. The movie 'Easy Rider' had not been out very long, and here we were sitting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with all these long-haired people, and I think a lot of them had the impression that if they were to get 2 blocks away, that somebody was going to run out with a pair of shears and cut their hair and threaten their life. I was born in the South, and to me this attitude was just kind of funny, and that's where the idea came from. I just took a guy and put him in a fictitious situation, and extricated him. But of course there's no truth to it other than just being around people that kind of had a fear of redneck bars."
As for Mr. Green Teeth? No name on who it was, but obviously the guy knew nothing about good oral hygiene - the tarter on his teeth was likely so bad, it'd turn green at times. YUCK.
Enjoy! (Oh, and uh, be sure to practice good dental hygiene. Don't want the green teeth, now do you?)
