I was watching a PBS special last night, of Stevie Ray Vaughn live concert performances. It opened with Stevie Ray and the original three-piece Double Trouble at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

They played "Pride and Joy" and "Texas Flood".

The audience booed.

Under the US Constitution anyone who boos Stevie Ray Vaughn is declared ineligible for American citizenship and is officially on notice for being a suspected piece of crap...

...said he from deep in the heart of Texas.

Oh, as opposed to the great musical taste Americans showed by shooting John Lennon?

Oh yea.....way back in 1979....Stevie Ray opened for Sammy Hagar amd REO Speedwagon at the Cal Expo Sacramento horse track. He got booo'd there too, that's domestic booo'ing of a prolific contemporary blues rock legend, and in his genre' it doesn't get any better than him.

I was furious

So I boo'd REO and Sammy, and got kicked out for throwing beer at somebody near the end of the concert.

So it CAN happen here too geezer

Blasphemy!!!

You think Mark David Chapman was giving a musical critique of Lennon when he gunned him down?

Politically Switzerland is independent of Europe (ie is not in the EU.) Further, they have the highest level of gun ownership in the world, the governmant actually gives you guns. So don't piss them off ok... remember we never found the cookoo clocks of Mass Destruction...

But the audience comes from all over Europe. I suspect that there were a lot of French people there, since Montreux is just a truffle's throw from France.
