    Bad Penny {Lyrics}.
    Well, like a bad penny you've turned up again
    You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
    I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
    Well, you've double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell, oh
    Well, like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
    But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold
    Well, it can't ever be like it was then
    Well, don't you fool with me, baby
    Well, don't you mess with my plans
    Some stormy nights
    Your memory haunts me
    You won't go away
    Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change
    Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame
    I think you know I'm still sore but I'm on the mend
    Times sure have changed, it won't happen again
    Well, like a bad penny spins around and around
    Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down
    You got to learn from now on to stop playing games
    You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way
    Some lonely nights
    I hear you calling
    Won't you go away?
    Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
    You're in my sights, well, there's a mist on my lens
    I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
    Well, you've double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell, yeah

    The legend goes like this: Hendrix was asked backstage during the Woodstock Festival in August 1969 by a journalist how it felt to be called the best guitarist on the planet. The answer was: No idea, you should go and ask Rory Gallagher.

I'm sure enjoying him now. I listen to Shadow Play (his live performance on RUclips) at least once every day. His fans have told me that his Live performances are the best - and I believe it. His connection to his live audience was incredible. Have only heard wonderful things about the man and his music. He seems to have never left his working-class values and for him, it was ALL about the music. Incredibly talented who have his audience everything he had. So glad I found this man and his music.
      Stay safe, my friend.

    I guess u could say I'm an "older kid"now but I saw Rory in the USA in 1972. We went to an all day outdoor rock festival at Rockingham Motor Speedway in N. Carolina. Rory closed the show out that night after many acts ahead of him on a long, hot Southern day. Let me tell u he absolutely blew up the stage & gave a killer performance! I will never forget it! My friends & I couldn't believe what we were hearing. We had heard of him but had no idea what that Irish boy was about to deliver! A great show, and an even greater musician!

    Saw him in a UK theatre a year or two before he died. The place holds 2000 people and I reckon there were about 300 people there. I stood right at the front, literally leaning on the stage with both arms resting on it, staring in awe. He was about six feet away from me. Despite the poor turnout (some people don't wouldn't know a brilliant opportunity to see a fantastic musician if it moved next door and shot their dog), he played his f**king socks off! RIP Rory!

The world is unfair because I have been enjoying Rock and Roll music for many years and I have never heard about Rory. My uncle who is the one that introduced me to Rock 'n roll music, which is an old dude, has never heard of him either, and my uncle really loves this type of music. I'm 32 and I think Rory is one of the best guitarrists I've ever seen so far. My fav guitarrists are Mark Knopfler and Richie Blackmore, but now Rory is in my Book. May your soul rest in peace Rory!
