TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

Well, I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally / He saw Aunt Mary comin’ and he ducked back in the alley oh baby / Yeah baby, woo baby / Havin’ me some fun tonight, yeah, ow / Well, long, tall Sally / She’s built for speed, she got / Everything that Uncle John need, oh baby / Yeah baby, woo baby / Havin’ me some fun tonight, yeah…

Long Tall Sally, what a grand ol’ dame in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. She stands tall against the test of time. I imagine her as long woman, drinking a pint of whiskey, sweating it out on a juke joint dance floor.

Who sweating up with dat gal? Little Richard, Bumps Blackwell, or Enotris Johnson? Two of ’em must be slipping and a sliding in rock n roll heaven tonight.

Long tall gals and standing strong and long are this week’s Idelic muse, so let’s be friends. Let’s dance all night and love our gals, hug ’em and our family and friends too. Let’s smell the fresh green scent of the canyon.

It’s a beautiful spring here, the greenest and richest in recent memory. Birds are a-buzzing all morning long. It’s all a reminder of just how precious life is. No better way to enjoy it than with song. Please stand “long” and join.

Love to my long leggeds.
