RIP David Allan Coe

Remember him playing in the Amphitheater around 1992, he looked old then. Someone in the front kept hollering play You Don't have to Call me Darling, he stopped and something like...I'll play it but it's the last song I play. Meaning if I play it now I'm out of here.
I'm just waiting to see which one of you is going to post some of his underground songs.
Something tells me we might have a few posters with quite the collection...
I saw him play at a motorcycle rally once. There was absolutely no censorship.
Last time I saw him was in Ridgeland at Ropers or whatever that bar was called.
He actually started it mid way and then had a complete set of nothing but a mashups of a bunches of his songs, then picked it back up right where he left off!
I think I saw that show as well. Definitely at Ricks, sometime between 98-2000. (My aging memory is getting hazy.)
Saw him twice at Mulligan's. It was in the shopping center next to the old Wal Mart for you youngsters. The one where I think the Palmer Home Thrift Store is now. This even made me remember Mulligan's nickel draft.
When I was in my early 20’s my Dad had just put a cd player in a classic truck he was working on and was taking a fishing trip with his mechanic. I told him I burned a cd for him with some funny songs, but don’t turn it on until you get down the road. Little Susie shallow throat may have been the first song…
On our Bus trips we had a big boom box that we suspended over the aisle with a strap from the luggage racks. We played a wide variety of tunes from country, rock, pop and blues. The only time the coaches ever stopped our music was someone brought one of those David Alan Coe tapes. They put it in and pressed play and it starts. The first line comes out and Coach Bob Roth jumps out of his seat and flies down the aisle and hits the stop button and pulls the tape. He says "sorry guys but no way".
I'm sure as soon as glfer gets behind a computer, he will do just that..***
***I would see him as more of a nickelback kind of guy. Not that there is anything wrong with that. We all have our own weird music tastes, but nickelback would be my guess. ***
Gotta be honest, I'm usually pretty on top of celebrity dead or alive?? I thought he'd been dead for a decade plus. Modern medicine can be impressive sometimes.
Saw him in a big bar in a run down strip center somewhere in Alabama many years ago. I think he cussed the crowd out and walked offstage at some point. I was probably drunker than he was.
RIP to him and to those days...

Ordered these two a few years ago. I haven't even opened the Underground Album. Nothing Sacred was on road trip rotation back in the 80's during my college cruising days.

He played at Hal and Mal's in the late 70's . We ate there before we went to the concert. There was a young woman with a child (~2yrs old) in the next booth and the child kept peeking at us so we started playing a game with the child. We met the young woman who was very nice and introduced herself as being in the band. Well sure enough when the VERY LOUD concert started there she was on stage with the child asleep on a mat behind the drummer. It was wild....good times .
Aww....the nickel draft. I think you could also get in for no cover before 10p. Man, a dollar stretched a long way back then even if it was cheap draft beer.
