So I went to the Road to Austin concert this weekend. It was a free event that included Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristopherson...and a whole slew of other people. It was awesome! I wanted to hear two songs. One was by Kris K and one was by Bob Schneider. The both sang the songs I wanted to hear, even though they only had two or three songs to sing. Not enough time for more than that. Too many acts on the bill. Stacy and I hung out with Gene all night. We met him at the concert. He might have been homeless, might not have been. Interesting guy...had seen a bunch of musicians in his lifetime. He is 61. He said something that gave me pause, that I thought was a great quote. He said "one thing about getting old, you really realize the value of a woman". That was great and sad at the same time. Anyway, I also met the man included in the picture. This is Leslie. He is famous in Austin and he is homeless. This is his magnet set that you can buy. He pretty much looked like this when I met him at the concert. Only, he had a red thong on, a leather vest, red top (with the boobs) and a tiara. He is a hoot.
