The late great Blaze Foley live in Austin, 1984 from my PBS series, "Austin Pickers". Blaze wrote this song a long time ago...but it could be about today!
His personality was genuine and real life, not contrived as most of todays musicians are, not all but most. I think we shall not see the likes of him and townes again. They are sorely missed..
This is from the same set as Snowing on Raton with Blaze and Townes. Same musicians, same background. Would have loved to have been present at that one. The good thing is that this vid remains so I can enjoy it.
Live Oak cemetery (Blaze's Grave) I like to drink beer, hang out in the bars I don't like buses, I don't like cars Don't like presidents Don't like stars Never had stitches but I do got scars I love to go to parties, I love my friends I got no books but I got book ends Think I'm crazy but that depends I don't seem that crazy to me.
This is the original Austin City Limits. Blaze ranks right up there with Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt and Lucinda Williams - Awesome Stuff.
OK!!! That is Leland Waddell on drums,Janice Rogers on harmony vocals,Elliot Rogers on guitar,Blaze..well Blaze IS Blaze,and Don Ray on those 88's and Donnie on the flute.
@-cams Trump allready had the dollars in his pocket joe worked his whole life trying to take your money to bad he's losing his mind when he finally sold his country and got rich 🙄 what a shame
The choir here is friggin fantastic
The fact the first second is the most replayed speaks volumes that it's a wonderful song even with the banter.
Legend...only found him , rip mo chara....from 🇮🇪 Ireland
Can’t believe how old this video is. What a gem

Paul Levine I reckon you're pretty right here, might see something close but never the same. I'm new to Blaze Foley.
Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers carry the flame pretty well, my friend.
still relevant today

superbowl show 1985, great memories
It's amazing to see him speak👍
A little bit of history is preserved for the next generation. R.I.P. Mr. Fuller. A Texas legend, murdered on the streets of Austin.

Live Oak cemetery (Blaze's Grave)
I like to drink beer, hang out in the bars
I don't like buses, I don't like cars
Don't like presidents Don't like stars
Never had stitches but I do got scars
I love to go to parties, I love my friends
I got no books but I got book ends
Think I'm crazy but that depends
I don't seem that crazy to me.
What's that from?

A pretty good song for today.
What a fuckin song, so many amazing people are out there like blaze who don’t get the respect they deserve
Even more so today
Thanks for upload!!!
BFI Dumpsters stood for Blaze Foley inside. That was one of his jokes onstage at the Austin Outhouse.
OK!!!
That is Leland Waddell on drums,Janice Rogers on harmony vocals,Elliot Rogers on guitar,Blaze..well Blaze IS Blaze,and Don Ray on those 88's and Donnie on the flute.
indeed it's a shame, nice vid, sweet song.
Yeah, it sounds better than Bobby Goldsboro.
great blaze¡¡¡¡¡ ok
i hear townes van zandt's floutist
his real name is michael david fuller. you can delete your own silly comment now.
I can only wonder what Blaze would think of Dubya and, even worse, Trump! (Could it possibly get worse?!)
Well apparently yes! What a shit show the last 4 years have been
Yes!...Joe Brandon!

Train wreck of a performance but blaze still looks cool.
A song for BiDen
It’s actually about Raegan hahaha it could apply to all presidents since, though
Dollar signs in his eyes and makeup on...If you're going to apply this song to current times there's one that it fits much better than Biden.
