Reply #10: It's really good and he tells fun stories

[LisaM]

My favorite one was where apparently Booker T and the MGs had covered "These Eyes". He said he had to go pick up Burton Cummings somewhere in jail in Chicago and was driving through the south side at 3 or 4 in the morning with Burton passed out in the back seat, and their evening's take in cash in a paper bag after a show one night. He got lost and finally went into a bar to ask for directions. He said he was the only white guy in the place and they all just looked at him like "why are you here" when he asked for directions. But "These Eyes" was playing on the jukebox (the Booker T version) and he told them, "I'm Randy Bachman! I wrote that song!"

He said the bartender asked to see his ID, then went over to the jukebox, unplugged it, pulled the record out, and looked at the songwriter. Then he said, "You know Booker T?" and gave him directions.

All of his stories are like that, he's got hundreds of them.
