"FRED HEADS" AND "STUPIDEST PARENTS"


Before we get into last night's Fred Eaglesmith concert, we would like to announce two awards. After much deliberation, the vote is in and the prestigious “STUPIDEST PARENT AWARD” goes to the couple below who put their two small children in front of a herd of wild moose so they could get a good photo op! Here are the kids, playing with their toys just a couple of feet from the grazing herd, also a picture of the “STUPIDEST PARENT” taking a picture of their kids playing next to the wild animals.


(These parents were also nominated for the “Wag of My Finger” and a “What Were They Thinking” awards earlier this evening.)

Next is the highly acclaimed “Best Hippie Camper” award.

Now, for Fred. I am a die hard “Fred Head” and last night was no disappointment. After his appearance on the David Letterman show (see on youtube), he is on summer tour with his new CD “Cha Cha Cha” ... 48 shows and an Atlantic cruise in 3 months. The Drake Inn is a small pub with a wooden dance floor and no extra charge for the hecklers. His new back up band, including the Ginn Sisters, really added to the show … harmonies and high heeled lace up stilettos and all.

If you like country rock and stand up comedy, check out Fred. You too can hear songs like “My Baby's Got Big Hair”, “You're Spookin' the Horses” and “When (exactly) Did We Become White Trash?” His more serious side includes my favorites “Alcohol and Pills” and “John Deere”.
