A While Back...I Went To A Gordon Lightfoot Concert ...That Was Held At The "Twin River Casino" ...In Lincoln,Rhode Island.....I Had Gotten My Ticket A Month Before...Through The Internet....You Couldnt Get A Better Seat Than What I Had....Front Row And Center...At A Cost Of 175 Bucks
It Was A Full House Too...Around 3000 People Were There
Well...I Got There A Little Late...After Parking...And Walking In The Place...I Could Hear That The Show Had Already Begun...
I Had To Show My Ticket To The Lady Usher With A Flashlight
She Told Me To Follow Her
I Followed Her Into The Pitch Dark Area Of Where The Audience Was Seated
And Good Ole Gordon Was Singing Away..."In The Early Morning Rain"
Where We Stopped Was Maybe 10 Feet from Ole Gordy (Who Was Singing Away Still)
But What Was This??!!
There Was Someone Sitting In My Seat!!
So The Lady Asked The Guy If He Had A Ticket
He Says(And You Can Just About Hear Anything... Because Of Good Ole Gordy And His Band)
"This is My Seat"
The Lady Looks At His Ticket... With her Flashlight.... And Says To Him
"No...You Belong In The 10th Row"
He Says..."No...I Belong Here"
(At This Point...Some Of The People... Sitting Around And Near-By...Think This Situation Is More Interesting Than Good Ole Gordy And His Song That Hes Singing)
The Lady Says Again...(While Im Standing There Feeling Like Im On Stage...Because A Lot Of People Are Watching Us...And This Show That We Are Putting On)
"You Have To Move to The 10th Row"................He Aint Budging
At This Point...Ive Had Enough Of The Bull Shit With This Guy
After All..The Show Is Going On...And Im Standing Here...Looking At This F N Guy...Sitting In My Damned Seat!!
So I Intervened..Got In Front Of The Lady Uher...And Looking Down At This Clown Sitting In My Seat ...(That I Paid 175 Bucks For) I Said To Him
"Look Pal...Let Me Put It To You This Way"
"Right now...There Are 3000 People... Watching Gordon Lightfoot Singing"
"If You Dont Get Ta Hell Out Of My F-Ing Seat...I Promise You...That They Will Be Watching Us!!!"
At That ...He Grew To Be A Very "Understanding Man"
Got Up.... And Went To His Seat In The 10th Row
At That... I Took My Seat ....That I Paid For.... As Good Ole Gordy Pushed On With The Song,,........,"Sundown"
