Notes
As he's done a few times in the past, Todd changes the words in Alright Guy (out of respect since the death of Pope John Paul II on 4/2/05).
While Todd is telling his Judge Judy story, apparently someone in the crowd says to him, "Just play the song." In response Todd tells that particular audience member, "It's gonna be a long night for you."
Todd stumbles on the lyrics at the beginning of Easy Money but recovers with a quick-witted change of lyrics (see VARIATIONS below).
After Rocket Fuel, Todd does a small bit of I Like Country When It Rocks.
Todd's usual comment about finding his tie on the bus and thinking it was Eddie Money's is changed slightly as he says it belongs to Huey Lewis.
Variations
On Alright Guy:
"It ain't like I went on TV and did something worse than smoking dope."
"Hey, Old Timer, we're gonna have to ask you to step out of the car."
On Ballad of the Kingsmen:
"Now, man, he gets a lot of chicks. Maybe not as many chicks as he used to get chicks. But he gets chicks."
On Tension:
"People still dig drugs. Shit, they're bigger than Rush Limbaugh. And he used to be pretty big."
"Michael Jackson. That's what scares people these days. That and...no, just Michael Jackson."
On Ballad of the Devil's Backbone Tavern:
"I been bummin' around this country. I've been playing here for over ten years."
"The hotels are weird and the pay sucks. The hotel sucks, too. But the gig, I love the gig."
On Easy Money:
"You get some ex-junkie all strung out on his own greed and he'll never figure out the words to his own fuckin' song."
On Doublewide Blues:
"I'm about to implode now that the reenactment of the Michael Jackson trial isn't on."
On Vinyl Records:
"I've got piles and piles and piles of Helen Reddy."
On Age Like Wine:
"Which will not be as good as that first show that you told your friend about that you dragged out tonight so help me I know..."
