I never knew his material too well but I found myself in the back room of the Cameron one night and he was playing a stripped down show. He told a story before one of the songs. Usually people don’t speak between their songs or else they introduce a song by explaining what it’s about and often listening to an explanation like that I get somewhat repelled like telling me what a movie is about and then wanting me to watch it. Now that you told me why should I care? He told a story about a guy who abused boys who trusted him, unexpected twists, edge of the seat listening. At the end the perpetrator was arrested and sentenced to jail time and then he said “and this song is about someone else who went to jail for an unspeakable crime” pow. A note-to-self experience, how to segue and keep things compelling and unforeseen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
