A video of Allison Crowe’s performance of “Me and Bobby McGee,” the handiwork of Adrian du Plessis, Allison’s business manager, tour mapper, big brother backup, publicist, dedicated fan, and agent provocateur, is now available on YouTube.
The video, which Adrian classifies as “lo-fi all the way,” features photos taken by Billie Woods of scenes encountered during Allison’s European tour in support of the “Northern Lights Festival,” a benefit for the John Lennon Memorial Garden, as well as still shots of Allison performing.
That the description of the video also quotes extensively from a post by the “Mysterious DrHGuy”1 is a serendipity to be celebrated but a coincidence which had, of course, no effect on the decision to post about the video at Heck Of A Guy today.
In any case, Allison Crowe is the best thing to happen to “Me And Bobby McGee” since Janis Joplin changed Kristofferson’s lyrics.
Credit Due Department: The photo atop this post was originally found on Allison Crowe’s web site.
- Adrian is helping test market “The Mysterious DrHGuy” as my official blogonym. That specific construct was originally used to express another blogger’s – oh, let’s call it another blogger’s discontent that I signed my comment on his site with my “DrHGuy” instead of the name my mother would recognize. That I left my email address and the Heck Of A Guy URL and that “DrHGuy,” being unique, is much easier to track down on the Internet than my Christian name and surname, a combination shared with a number of other fellows, every man among them upright, intelligent, polite, and easy on the eyes, cut no mustard with my opposite number, who consequently referred to me as “the mysterious DrHGuy.” I’m rather taken by the idea of being mysterious and I’ve long admired appellations with built-in descriptions (e.g., “The Mighty Mighty Bosstones”) so “The Mysterious DrHGuy” holds an appeal. Of course, it it works out, I may add a complementary accoutrement, say an eye patch.
OK, maybe not an eyepatch – maybe a saucy female sidekick. [↩]
