And unfortunately, "Shame, Shame, Shame" is apparently not a Shirley and Company cover.

Didn't fellow Bostonians Mr. Airplane Man just cover "Jesus is on the Mainline" a couple years ago, though? So, hmmm...maybe this is the equivalent of Robert Plant and John Mellencamp covering all those songs that White Stripes had already covered on THEIR recent blues albums (both of which were surprisingly good, to be honest)....

chuck, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

THEIR above = Plant & Mellencamp (not White Stripes, though their blues albums are okay too, I guess.)

chuck, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Chuck, yes on the Mr. Airplane Man thing. And Teeny, just chalk up the Bobo thing to the fact that we're AWESOME. Okay, that's all.

Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

but mr airplane men are from cambridge.

three weeks pass...
who is the famale voice on "Back Back Train" and "Jesus is on the mainline?

Rafael Sabioni, Thursday, 15 April 2004 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard it today. Better than anything they've done since
the 70s.

Squirrel_Police (Squirrel_Police), Thursday, 15 April 2004 01:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm actually dying to hear this now. A friend of mine loves it (one who acknowledges how shitty it sounds in the TV ad) and the reviews are pretty promising.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 15 April 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Tyler actually sounds okay, too; he's not "mugging" for the mic
like he so often does.

Squirrel_Police (Squirrel_Police), Thursday, 15 April 2004 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Bobo is French origin, maybe? It's a name that connotes a sort of sweet harmless stupidity. -- teeny (teen...), March 22nd, 2004.

Yeah, same thing in Spanish. Kinda like calling someone dopey.

Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Thursday, 15 April 2004 01:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I LOVE the Mr Airplane Man version of "Jesus on the Mainline"!!! The whole song is one note!!

four years pass...

The title of this album still cracks me up. The latest thing that amuses me about it is the hope that they would do a cover of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" but changed to "Honkin' On Bobo's Door."

We need a ilx listening party for this gem

calstars, Friday, 19 June 2020 18:03 (six years ago)

David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine... considers the album to be overdone, which is what Aerosmith is good at.[11]

lol at the Wiki entry, but I agree. Blues tributes like this or The Stones' Blue & Lonesome just make me want to play the original versions.

I bought this for my Mom on Mother's Day. I remember taking it home and actually looking at the cover and being like "oh..."

frogbs, Friday, 19 June 2020 20:06 (six years ago)

honkin on oh no

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 19 June 2020 20:07 (six years ago)

Ha, had totally forgotten about Bonkin' On Hobo, which I've never seen anywhere. Agree that overdoing is what Aerosmith were good at when they were good, but also bad at when they were bad, ditto the Stones, who could learn from and lift, folk-process Muddy Waters-type slide guitar, but also combine it with Watts beats, whichever-Stones falsetto, all the other parts Jones put in, then the right hired hands, incl. London Boys Choir, in his wake, with Jagger sounding totally into it, though"it" incl. perfectly crass, sincere, deadpan, corrugated-stylized (liked to tell interviewers that his name came from thieves with knives, like pursejaggers I guess). Bad Boys vs. still-cheeky Fab Four, like Aerosmith vs, Bee Gees in film of Sgt. Pepper's. Andrew Loog Oldham's liner notes in droogspeak. Pre-Baraka Leroi Jones quoted a friend, "At they sound like English crooks."
But more effective with what was tagged per se blues in with r&b, rock, etc., than when they came back with whole old man albums of blues. They were better when learning from their own club era set list, basically (and of course Robert Johnson, like others of the "songster" era, is now said by some to have had to mix it up, to be a traveling jukebox, to get gigs).
Suspect I'd think the same if I listened to this album.

i posted that in an unrelated thread three years ago but i thought it needed to live here too

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 18 April 2022 15:39 (four years ago)

when you honk long on a bobo, the bobo also will honk on you

feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Monday, 18 April 2022 15:51 (four years ago)

I associate this album with Joe Perry’s “Boneyard Brew” bbq sauce

brimstead, Monday, 18 April 2022 15:56 (four years ago)

do not ask for whom the bobo honks; it honks for thee

tylerw, Monday, 18 April 2022 15:56 (four years ago)

Woah, let's go
But I'm Gerald and I can always have just what I want
She's that baddest I would love to flaunt
Take her shopping, you know Yves Saint Laurent
But nope, she ain't with it though
All because she got her own dough
Boss bossed if you don't know
She could never ever honk on bobo

One Too Many Honkin' Swift On Bobo Goodbye

chr1sb3singer, Monday, 18 April 2022 16:16 (four years ago)

he kindly honked on me

nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 18 April 2022 16:18 (four years ago)

i honked the bobo less honked by,
and that has made all the difference

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 18 April 2022 16:21 (four years ago)

in 2024 they'll release a 20th anniversary edition of this album, a two-disc set entitled 2 honks 2 bobos

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 18 April 2022 16:25 (four years ago)

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To honk the bobo

Took what the honks gave me: Bobo in my environment (ayy)

Neanderthal, Tuesday, 15 July 2025 20:11 (eleven months ago)

I met a bobo, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to honk"

Honkin’ on Cobo (jamescobo), Tuesday, 15 July 2025 20:26 (eleven months ago)

Confusion in her eyes that says it all
She's honked bobo
And she's clinging to the nearest passerby
She's honked bobo

And all the federales say
They could had him any day
They only let him honk on Bo
Out of kindness I suppose

calstars, Tuesday, 15 July 2025 22:05 (eleven months ago)

So if an old friend I know
Stops by to honk on Bo
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

calstars, Tuesday, 15 July 2025 22:06 (eleven months ago)

On a hill
Under a bobo sky
I have no idea exactly what I've honked

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 15 July 2025 22:29 (eleven months ago)

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend
Blood stains on my hands
And I don't know where I've been

I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm sharpening the ax
And my honks are getting wet

Sweating bobos

Neanderthal, Tuesday, 15 July 2025 22:38 (eleven months ago)

Soon you will come to know
When the bullet honks the bobo

Iza Duffus Hardy (President Keyes), Tuesday, 15 July 2025 22:52 (eleven months ago)

It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me, someone
Help me, please
Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake
And I'll be honkin on bobo

Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension

Honkin on bobo
