Scrobble from Spotify? Connect to Spotify Dismiss. Search Search. Duane is probably the bonding agent between all of us. And Joe Dan and Twigs and all the guys we lost, and it is a strong bonding agent to go to all these wakes and the older we get the more we will lose each other. When we go to these wakes I can see all the older guys looking at each other wondering who will be next. The great thing about this time is that people are not taking drugs and drinking, everybody is healthy.
Let's clear the rumors about the Elvis Costello news item from the '80's? Did you really punch him out at a press conference? I slapped his face good. He was being disrespectful and out of line, stupid and drunk. It was my press conference and he was saying nigger all over the place.
For the first time in twenty years, we had brought these Cubans here, who are now some of the best jazz musicians here. We took them to New York to be reunited with their family and the revolution had broken out in Cuba. Here's Elvis Costello going to call them a nigger. Come on. Anyway we had a big confrontation and everybody in the press was there, Chet Flippo and his wife. If I had hired a press agent I couldn't have gotten more press out of it. You have not seen a lot of interviews on me talking about it, but just to get it out of the way.
It would be a crying shame for someone as talented as Elvis Costello to go down in history as the one who got the crap slapped out him by Bonnie Bramlett.
I would like to do a duet. I challenge him to come sing with me, you little butt-head, come live here in this country you said you hated. We can do a duet of "Peace, Love and Understanding. That was the event of someone being drunk and someone being fed up with it. That was my first year of sobriety. I was in the bar of the hotel and I took so much verbal abuse from him.
If I had been drinking I would have slapped him a long time before that. I had taken it to the limit and I didn't care. If anyone thought I had been drinking I didn't care, but they knew I wasn't because they had been on the road with me and watching me like a hawk in my first year of sobriety. Women are supposed to come into their own power and be more recognized in the world in the new age of Aquarius. How do you feel about it?
I get upset with that a little bit. They say women are powerful as soon as they get through their menopause. We have been lied to. Why do we have to wait on anything. Start flexing. We have that authority. Women are the life givers and men are the life takers and it is just as simple as that.
It is up to us to genteel these dudes. We can't let them run the show, they'll kill everybody. That is the way I look at it and it's pretty simple. Two beautiful daughters. Suzanne Lynn and Rebecca Ruth. Suzanne is a make up artist and Bekka is a singer. At least she had the balls to say she didn't like our music. If you say "singer" with me she does not belong. I would call her a performance artist. Oh, Bobby IT-lock, that's what the girls called him when they were little. We love him.
He's a preacher's kid from Memphis. She's the font Roseanne is my heart and I love this child. I see that sweet little girl in there. All the rest is just an artist who just takes risks. I love that soul and I love, love, love Roseanne. She is my little girlfriend and I love her. I don't see or hear from her very often, but when I do it's major hugs and she is just little bitty. She is either totally reinventing herself, kind of like Andy Kaufman in a way, but she is as serious as a heart attack.
She has no boundaries in expression. She will just lay in the floor and scream and she is just crazy. I love her. She is either just reinventing herself and going to blow everybody's mind , or not. But that is the chance that everybody in this business takes when they do a project. She was so good and should have won an Emmy award. I think she should have gotten a show of her own.
You were so funny and great on the Roseanne show. You and Roseanne and Martin Mull cracked me up. That was a hard thing to do. I could not go anywhere, Laurie was all upset.
I was getting in the way of her supporting actor award with the new character coming up. Maybe I was stealing her thunder, so that was why that didn't work. It was, and it was fun! I got to tell you something, that is the name of the game, life in the big city, in show business. That was Roseanne's show and it's not like I went there and read for a part.
I didn't go read for a part , it was Roseanne's show and she wrote my part in because she wanted me to do it. Here was Laurie up for some award for television and I was trying to be friends with her and she would not embrace me.
I would go home on hiatus and speak to her Mom at the Library and she would say, oh fine. Then I asked what was going on and someone said I was really getting in her way in life. She really loves you but she could not help it because she was up for some award and here is Roseanne bringing in nine new characters into the show because she wanted to bump ass in the rock and roll world.
She was bringing in David Crosby , etc. We were in a play together , actually it was a play that had to do with recovery. Tom Arnold was in recovery and I had a little more sobriety than the average bear at the time.
We all got together and were doing a play, a bunch of people that were in show business and she said that she had always been a fan of mine and would I do her show and I said yeah, in a heart beat. You would not believe how stupid I was. Roseanne was in awe of me, bless her heart.
I am older than her. No I'm 55 and she's Anyway, so I don't know, they kept saying, be busy. Well I thought I will waitress and the set was all chrome, stainless steel like a restaurant. Roseanne was doing her lines and I was polishing things up, we did three rehearsals and hell by the time that was over that whole set was spick-and-freaking-span. I didn't know that they had to go back and spray the set down because it glared into the cameras. Then I would come back onto the set and ask what has happened!
No one would tell me because they didn't want to hurt my feelings. Did you see the socks we wore had lace on the ends and fat, ugly, dirty, tennis shoes. I had more fun and would like to do TV. He is a South St.
Louis dude from my hometown too. I knew him before and adore him. He is a musician too, in his heart he is one of us. There is a show that I starred in called Cowboy Cafe and we had gotten blown away by the hurricane down on the Carolina Coast.
I loved the theatre, and when I get this album finished for Blue Hat I want to get someone to help me put that up. Maybe go to England and do it there. It is a musical comedy and it is hilarious. Have you ever heard of Pebble Daniel? She is one of the finest background singers here and she did all the sessions and had a thick heavy voice, like I do, and I would be glad to say she is one of my protegees and she claims me first. She had a heart attack and died and then left me her part.
When she was dying in the hospital she said that Bonnie Bramlett could play it and sent it to me. We had been doing it at Edisto Beach and it was a stellar performance and after this album I would like to put it back up.
Yes, Herbie Mann was living in an apartment then, and heard us and came up onstage to jam. But what I remember most about the show was Delaney. He is so Delaney! It started to rain a little bit. Bonnnie's songwriting credits include "Superstar" nominated for a Grammy in , and "Give Peace a Chance," both co-written with Leon Russell. Bonnie then moved to Georgia and embarked upon a solo career.
Her harmonizing with Delbert McClinton in the 's launched the award-winning "Givin' it Up for Your Love" that has become a rock standard. Bonnie returned to LA in the s.
Bonnie moved to Idaho with her family to write and regroup and then in , she moved to Nashville, TN. Jerry Wexler stated, "Her vocals are stunning in every respect; intonation on the money; dynamics intense; phasing lyrical and logical, and above all, burning with the feeling that we have come to recognize as deep soul. In , Bonnie signed with Zoho Records. George W. Others simply refuse to grow. Praise God for the queen of 'hazel eyed soul', Ms.
There is nothing like a lady who roars like a female lion, and means it.
