#268 'ABSOLUTELY SWEET MARIE' AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE FIRST JASON AND THE SCORCHERS AND FIRST PRAXIS RELEASE/VIDEO (ALTHOUGH OFB GOT THE FIRST RELEASE, 001). UNDER THE RHINESTONE STUDDED EYES OF JACK EMERSON AND HIS SVENGALI, ANDREW McLenon, THIS IS THE FIRST AND POSSIBLY MOST ELECTRIFYING CONTRIBUTION THAT COUNTRY PUNK WILL CAPTURE LIKE A FIRST FIX UNTIL ALL THE ALT/COUNTRY GRAM PARSONS-LOVING IDIOTS OUT THERE CLOSE UP THEIR BLOUSING. THIS WAS FIRST AND IT'S FOR KEEPS AND IT ROCKS LIKE GEORGE JONES DRIVING AROUND NASHVILLE IN A CADILLAC WITH A CARDBOARD STANDEE OF HANK WILLIAMS AS PASSENGER AND $10,000 DOLLARS OF WAYLON'S COKE MONEY IN THE TRUNK, WHILE HE SINGS ALONG TO OLD PAPPY Daley SONGS ON THE RADIO IN HIS DONALD DUCK VOICE. HASH! oh, yeah, starts at hatch, tootsies upstairs, Ronnie the gunky roadie sitting in the booth with the redhead, Andy kickin' pigeons at a table with a Nashville tramp, jack Emerson (greatly missed, r.i.p.) as the captain...i remember washing after it was edited with Matt Wildon, lying in bed quoting lines from LyX Chilton's bankbook.
