Long Gone Commie Drive Gentrified Blues

from Quesnel County Country Punk Conspiracy (2005) by Joey Only Outlaw Band

/

about

Based on a true story. I did a lot of busking on Vancouver's Commercial Drive over the years which meant a lot of cops and security tried to push me away. But certain businesses let me play in front of them so I'd get pretty defensive if they tried to move me. After a great deal of confrontation one day I walked away with no money in my pocket.

When I got down to Grandview the Waillin Jenny's were setting up on a big stage for some CBC Radio event. They did a 45 minute sound check while I wasn't even allowed to busk up the street...something about this deeply angered me and I don't think I have ever listened to the Waillin Jenny's since either - though I'm sure it wasn't their fault.
